ESG -🌱 Agenda on Voting Voting and Engagement has noticeably risen up the agenda in recent years. Since the introduction of the revised UK #Stewardship Code in 2020 and associated regulatory frameworks for other regions, there has been much greater focus on the outcomes from investors' voting and engagement activity. Please do take a moment to review our first #activeownershipreport which brings Lazard's differentiated approach to life and let us know any feedback. #esg #assetmanagement #lazardam

Introducing our new quarterly active ownership report from Lazard’s #ESG & Sustainability team. The report is underpinned by our four core #Sustainable Investment Principles, which include commitments to both transparency and active ownership. Our overarching objectives for #activeownership are to: ✅Demonstrate the value of our fundamental research and its influence on engagement and voting decisions. ✅Evidence high quality, outcome-oriented engagements that either influence our #investment views and/or drive real-world outcomes. ✅Meet evolving stakeholder expectations and provide transparency on our #stewardship activities. Highlighted below are our Q3 #Sustainability and Governance Highlights. Explore the full report on our website: https://lnkd.in/d-u374u5

Voting and Engagement has noticeably risen up the agenda in recent years. Since the introduction of the revised UK #Stewardship Code in 2020 and associated regulatory frameworks for other regions, there has been much greater focus on the outcomes from investors' voting and engagement activity. So now we must be able to evidence to clients how voting and engagement is value additive to our investment decision making as well as, on occasion, being able to show how our conversations with companies and sovereigns might influence decisions that lead to real world outcomes. At Lazard Asset Management we believe we have a differentiated model from many of our peers in that our voting and engagement has always been and is still led by our fundamental research and sector analysts. They bring multiple years of industry knowledge and company research which better contextualises engagement topics and voting decisions. In my view it ensures the insights we glean from our engagement activity can be fully incorporated back into our investment views when it is being undertaken by the same person providing the #investment recommendation. Please do take a moment to review our first #activeownershipreport which brings Lazard's differentiated approach to life and let us know any feedback. For more details on our policies and processes you can also see our #StewardshipCodeReport here. https://lnkd.in/eNezdgB6 #UKstewardshipcode #esginvesting #activeownership #corporategovernance
