Responsible Investment News and Views – Q2 2024

In this quarter's RI News & Views, we discuss the recent departures of asset managers from the Climate Action 100+ initiative, and the reasons behind this.

We emphasise the importance of taking an evidence-based approach to manager engagement, while focusing on the deeper issues to understand their values when it comes to positive real-world change.

In our Significant Votes section, we examine the issue of biodiversity loss and how it’s being reflected in a range of shareholder proposals this proxy season.

In our ESG Snippets, we cover recent guidance published by the Taskforce on Social Factors (TFSF) and the Net-Zero Asset Owner Alliance (NZAOA) as well as the new engagement field guide for investors from Nature Action 100.

We also include a reminder that we published our updated Responsible Investment Mission Statement in April 2024.
