Elevating Investor Stewardship for a Sustainable Future: From Risk to Responsibility
16:00 – 17:00
This 60-minute interactive webinar explored how investors can drive real-world outcomes through stewardship. The session will began with a panel discussion featuring expert voices, followed by breakout groups where participants explored key dimensions of investor influence in greater depth.
The key discussion points were:
- How investor stewardship is evolving, with a focus on quality over quantity of engagements
- The challenges facing stewardship, including geographical differences in approach (Europe/Asia pushing forward, US becoming more skeptical)
- The importance of strategic engagement with companies, focusing on meaningful dialogue and accountability
- Exploring stewardship beyond public equities, including corporate and sovereign bonds
- The potential role of AI in tracking and improving engagement efforts
The webinar included a keynote by Aurélia Fäh of Asset Management Association Switzerland (AMAS), a panel discussion with Laure Philippon of ShareAction and Juan Salazar of Pictet, moderated by Michal Bartek of UN PRI. The breakout sessions focused on topics like engagement strategies, escalation techniques, and stewardship codes.
The overall message was that stewardship needs to be more nuanced, business-relevant, and focused on creating long-term value.
