We are committed to being a “future maker”, using our investments and our influence towards companies and policy makers, to advocate for a low-carbon, environmentally sustainable and inclusive economy.
This is why we use stewardship – proxy voting, company engagement and public policy advocacy – to encourage companies and policy makers to improve their performance and accountability on sustainability topics. This helps us in better managing ESG risks in the near and long-term, enhances our knowledge and understanding as an investor, and creates positive externalities – all of which benefit our clients. We believe that engagement is generally more effective than exclusion – although divestment can be a last resort.
Stewardship is part of the six pillars of our sustainable investor approach, and fully embedded in our Global Sustainability Strategy.
