Our 2020 report showcases the engagement and voting activity we undertook in our mission to build sustainable capital markets and maximize value for our clients.
March 2021
Core Stewardship Themes
Climate Risk and Reporting
Climate risk is an increasingly important focus for investors everywhere. Long a key part of our core focus, in 2020 we elevated our focus on climate still further, engaging extensively and launching a number of new initiatives to further our campaign.
Integrating R-Factor into Voting Decisions
In 2019 we created an engagement and voting screen that leverages R-Factor, our proprietary scoring system. R-Factor measures the performance of a company’s business operations and governance as it relates to financially material and industry-specific ESG risk factors, as defined by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB).
Gender Diversity - Fearless Girl
Companies are continuing to respond to our call and adding women to the highest positions of their organizations. With our Fearless Girl campaign playing no small part, today there is global focus on the value of diversity in the boardrooms.
