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.
