Our stewardship approach to encourage positive change

Our commitment is to support issuers to adopt better practices

Reflecting our proactive interactions with companies, our active engagement aims to support companies in taking into account environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues on specific themes.

 

We focus on ensuring that the quality of our interactions and constructive dialogue with companies will help them to engage a positive dynamic and be a source of progress towards a stronger and more resilient business model.

Direct engagement

We engage individually with issuers on a standalone basis via in-person meetings, phone or video calls, emails, formal letters or questionnaires.

Collaborative engagement

We collaborate and engage collectively with our peers to help drive the conversation and have a greater impact.
