Through engagement with investee companies, responsible investors can push for real world positive change on a wide range of issues, from climate targets and strategy to board diversity, bio-ethics to plastic waste. Every sector and every company faces material challenges in the push towards a truly sustainable economy and planet, and investors can play a key role, not only by driving capital where it is most needed, but by holding companies to account. Working within M&G’s Sustain & Impact equities team, I drive our engagement programme, working with our investee companies to foster ongoing improvement in how they operate, how they disclose those operations and how they deliver real world positive impact.
