Corporate Engagement Priorities
While each asset class has focus areas unique to the sectors and companies in which they invest, there are systemic ESG issues relevant to the entire portfolio. Our corporate engagement priorities are determined by identifying the issues most material to our clients’ investments, and guide the activities we undertake to enhance overall value creation.
Encourage transparency in climate-related disclosures, and consideration of the physical, regulatory, and transition risks related to climate change in business strategy.
Encourage transparency and consideration of physical and regulatory risks related to operations in water-stressed regions, impacts on water quality, and poor water stewardship in business strategy.
Encourage adoption of best practices to manage risk of financial losses, disruption, and reputation damage resulting from failures of IT systems or failures in collection, handling, and storing of data.
Encourage policies and procedures that ensure worker health and safety, the protection of human rights, and alignment with labour standards.
Encourage best practices to ensure fair treatment and equal access to opportunity. Encourage improved diversity on corporate boards and in senior management.
