In the third episode of a CCLA sponsored series, Danielle Fugere, President and Chief Counsel, As You Sow, talks to Net Zero Investor. The interview covers why shareholder engagement is important for companies in achieving decarbonisation, setting net zero targets and building long-term value and longevity. 

Nearly 95% of votes at UK AGMs are cast in favour of management proposals. So, does voting make a difference? We believe it does and it’s an important part of our wider engagement strategy. David Ellis explains why here, giving recent examples of where we have pushed for change.

At CCLA we consider stewardship critical to our success. For that reason we are signatories of the UK Stewardship Code. Stewardship is defined as the responsible allocation and management of investment, for the benefit of clients, the economy and society in the long term.
