Our stewardship approach to encourage positive change

Our commitment is to support issuers to adopt better practices

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

 

We aim to ensure 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.

Our commitment is to support issuers to adopt better practices

proactive interactions with companies

Our engagement is based on two approaches

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

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

In 2023, we engaged on 5 key priority areas along the E,S and G pillars:

Environnment
Transition towards a low carbon economy

Natural capital preservation
Social
Human capital & human rights

Client protection and social safeguards
Governance
Strong governance for sustainable development
