Using engagement to drive positive changes
Engagement forms an integral part of how we integrate sustainability and ESG considerations in our investment process. We engage with companies to add value to the investment process or provide feedback to the company, focusing on achieving positive real world outcomes. We engage on company-specific issues, identified during our regular monitoring and ESG portfolio reviews, and on broader themes, such as climate change or modern slavery.
Voting
Active and informed voting is an integral part of our responsibility as stewards of our clients’ assets. In using our votes, we seek to add value and protect the interests of our clients as shareholders, while encouraging sustainable business practices – not least, better corporate governance, disclosure practices and board diversity. Internal voting guidelines and policy research guide and inform our voting, and we publish voting decisions on our website and in our annual stewardship report.
Stewardship reports
Our stewardship reports provide a comprehensive overview of our engagement, voting and other responsible investment activities from the previous year or quarter, including statistics and example case studies.
