We are committed to being transparent about our approach to responsible investment. We will actively report on the progress of our responsible investment activities to our clients, shareholders and other stakeholders.
This includes a rationale for every vote issued against management wishes. That allows all stakeholders to see clearly not just how we voted, but also why.
As a responsible investor, we also make it a priority to submit to external performance benchmarks. These include the:
- United Nations-backed Principles for Responsible Investment
- Financial Reporting Council’s Stewardship Code 2020
- ShareAction - Global Responsible Investment Benchmark
We also explain what we did in 2023 – and our engagement priorities for 2024 – in our annual Responsible Investment Report.
