Better work pillar
As part of our stewardship work, we assess companies’ impact on the real world and build engagement programmes around these. We broadly categorise these into three pillars – better work, better environment, and better health. Martin Buttle shares how our better work pillar covers several underlying themes from human rights at work, tackling inequality and the Living Wage.
Engagement on climate
Climate change matters. It affects how markets work. It shows up in energy prices, supply chains, and long-term growth. For investors with long time horizons, it is not a future concern. It is already influencing company performance and economic stability. Climate action has been a core focus of our stewardship work since 2010. Find out how we have been pressing for stronger corporate responses in our latest video.
