Introducing our Sustainability and Stewardship Report 2023

We’ve just published our latest Sustainability and Stewardship Report. The report looks back on a year when sustainable investing has been in the spotlight like never before, amid an “ESG backlash” in some quarters.

Using data and case studies, we detail how we responded to this changing world while doubling down on our commitment to make sustainability tangible while targeting real-world change.

The report also looks ahead to the trends and opportunities that we think will shape sustainable investing in the months and years to come.

It focuses on three areas around how we:

Continued to build out our sustainable investing offering, including through two new key performance indicators (KPI) investment approaches.
Evolved our stewardship approach with a focus on topics such as biodiversity and more escalation options including pre-announcing our voting intentions.
Embedded sustainability day-to-day in our business operations – from efficient use of energy to our commitment to employee development and an open and inclusive culture.
Other areas in focus include our impact investing offering, where we have used an innovative blended finance approach and we are increasingly recognised as influencers in the impact investing space.

You can also read about our new corporate citizenship programme that emphasises support for both global issues and local causes.
