Our responsible investment report 2022
Responsible investment – thinking
about environmental, social and governance issues as an investor and
shareholder – is a priority at Rathbones.
This year’s report on our responsible investment activity
describes another busy year. In 2021 we put a great deal of work into the
processes that support our responsible investment policy. This included honing
the way we embed environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into our
day-to-day investment choices.
Reflecting our growing reputation, we were delighted to be
recognised as ‘ESG Champion of the Year’ in the Investors’ Chronicle /Financial
Times 2021 Celebration of Investment Awards.
Our annual report on responsible investment sets out how we
approach it. To do this, we’ve included a number of examples that illustrate
our priorities and achievements.
These case studies are immensely varied. They include, for
example, engaging with UK power company SSE about carbon emissions, US
financial services company Citigroup about racial equality, and US streaming
company Netflix about political contributions.
We hope you enjoy reading this report, which demonstrates the impact of our efforts on our clients behalf.
