ESG Talk #13 - October 2023. To engage or to divest? Or both?
How can investors have a truly material impact in the fight for the climate?
Is divestment the only solution, or does engagement offer an alternative approach for improving environmental practices? What are key factors for voting and dialogue campaigns to be effective?
Our round table will focus on the central role of voting and engagement in sustainable investing, with a particular focus on the climate crisis. Pierre Devichi, Head of Responsible Investment at ERAFP, Jeanne Martin, Head of Banking Programme at ShareAction, and Candriam’s Sophie Deleuze and Marie Niemczyk, respectively Lead ESG Analyst on Stewardship and Head of ESG Client Portfolio Management, will share asset owner, non-profit and asset manager perspectives on the roles, benefits and key success factors of dialogue with issuers and the exercise of voting rights.
