Looking forward to facilitating a panel on civil society partnerships at the upcoming Responsible Investment Association Australasia (RIAA) conference. Estelle Parker Vas Kolesnikoff ISS | Institutional Shareholder Services Kelly O'Shanassy Australian Conservation Foundation Amy D'Eugenio Federated Hermes Limited. Here is an excellent primer compliments of PGIM: “Much reporting is required on the #escalation of #engagement #activities, yet there is insufficient recognition that these mechanisms may be too #weak to lead to a meaningful change in company behaviour. In fact, there are #two major #instruments that investors can use to encourage change; 1. #cost of #capital and 2. #voting #rights” “…the #quality of #engagement cannot be measured in a number of meetings or interactions, especially when it comes to #claiming #agency for creating real-world outcomes. So how can #asset #managers report on their engagement activities in a way that accurately reflects their effort without exaggerating outcomes?” #active #stewardship #collective #action #effective #partnerships #biodiversity #unpriced #risks

#ThrowbackThursday# #Communityengagementandsustainability Mineral exploration and development has always had the potential to make social and economic improvements within the communities where industry operates. Equity, diversity and inclusion are the core of mandate and values for implementation.  Without the support of communities and transparency before public bodies the viability of economic projects becomes difficult. It is necessary to articulate and strengthen networks according to the values of ESG. This is an inspiration that can transform people.
