Engagement in 2024: Research thematics
Supporting the development of robust and usable policies
In 2023, we conducted 681 engagements with 503 entities, representing a 14% increase in engagements compared to 2022. The increase was observed both for engagement with objectives (298) and for sustainability dialogue (383, +60%).
Engagement and dialogue are often conducted in collaboration with various teams providing strategic and technical views of the company’s practices. Our integrated stewardship approach allows the information gained during engagement to be fed into investment-decision making.
Climate change
Engaging with companies on climate and their decarbonisation strategies remained a top priority of our 2023 engagement strategy, representing 37% of our total efforts in 2023.
Biodiversity collapse
Our 2023 engagement approach to biodiversity has been to focus our greatest efforts on companies implicated in the agrifood value chain as well as the chemical industry.
Responsible technology
In 2023, we engaged with companies exposed to responsible technology issues to examine how their ways of working compare to the good practices we have identified.
Corporate governance
During 2023, we focused our discussion with companies around themes that shaped the season, including executive pay and the notion of social acceptability, sustainability governance, shareholder rights protection.
