We hosted a panel discussion on engagement with 4 of our delegates: Boston Common, Boston Trust Walden, Liontrust and EdenTree.
Our delegates engage with companies and exercise their shareholder rights to influence corporate behaviour and industry practices on a global scale, often in collaboration with shareholder coalitions and activist organizations. They have a long history of advocating for the planet and its people and recognize their responsibility to encourage improvement in the ESG practices of the companies in which they invest.
Never has the need for engagement been more urgent, as we face a deepening climate crisis and persistent and pervasive inequalities.
Gender diversity, racism, LGBTQ+ rights, modern slavery, biodiversity, climate change will be key societal topics discussed during the panel. Our delegates will share examples of actions taken to accelerate progress on climate and equality, and the governance mechanisms that underpin it all. They will also share with you industry-leading metrics and information on the reach and impact of their initiatives.
You have in the panel genuine SRI leaders who are pushing the debate forward and engaging in battles to make the world sustainable.
