We have a responsibility to make a positive difference in the world around us by using our influence as investors. This means going beyond careful investment decision-making to actively driving change through engagement and voting. For more than 20 years, we have been engaging companies, governments and regulators to establish appropriate policies and practices for environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues.

Since 2016, we have aligned our investor engagement to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals – 17 goals and 169 underlying targets aimed at achieving a more sustainable future by 2030.

We also engage and vote on behalf of our clients through our Responsible Engagement Overlay service, reo®. Clients can have greater influence in effecting positive change by pooling assets to create one unified, powerful voice.
