En rapport udgivet af den britiske ngo ShareAction konkluderer, at verdens største kapitalforvaltere fortsat er yderst tilbageholdende med at støtte grønne og sociale investorforslag. Rapporten bygger på en undersøgelse af verdens 65 største kapitalforvalteres stemmeafgivelser ved store selskabers generalforsamlinger.
UDKLIP FRA RAPPORTEN:
- Around one in three environmental resolutions received majority support, with resolutions on lobbying receiving more votes than those on corporate strategy.
- Only 15 per cent of all social resolutions received majority support (13 out of 89). Disclosure-related resolutions on diversity received significantly higher levels of support than resolutions on other social issues.
- On average, European asset managers voted in favour of environmental and social resolutions 25 percentage points more often than their US counterparts (64 and 39 per cent respectively).
- The six largest asset managers* in the world, with combined AUM of US$6 trillion, back fewer shareholder proposals than their proxy advisors – ISS and Glass Lewis – recommend.
- ISS recommended that investors support 75 per cent of assessed shareholder resolutions, and Glass Lewis recommended that investors support 44 per cent. Each of these six asset managers supported fewer than 40 per cent of resolutions that they voted on.
