In einer vor kurzem veröffentlichten Studie untersucht ShareAction - eine Non-Profit-Organisation mit Sitz in UK - die Leistungen von 75 der weltweit größten Asset Manager in Bezug auf verantwortliche und nachhaltige Geldanlagen (Responsible Investment). Im Gegensatz zu vergleichbaren Untersuchungen der letzten Jahre, die vor allem auf das Thema Klimawandel abzielten, wurden in dieser Studie mehrere Bereiche analysiert: responsible investment governance, human and labour rights, climate change und biodiversity. Einige zentrale Ergebnisse sind:
- The majority of the world’s largest asset managers demonstrate a substandard approach to responsible investment
- The world’s largest asset managers demonstrate weak responsible investment performance, while some managers with smaller AUM show leadership
- PRI and CA100+ membership is not alone indicative of strong performance on responsible investment
- The majority of assessed voting policies include no specific commitments with regard to shareholder proposals on climate, human and labour rights and biodiversity
- While publishing proxy voting records is becoming more widespread, reporting on voting rationales is still in its infancy
- Most asset managers report on their ESG-related engagement at an aggregate level,but rarely provide detail on their engagements and outcomes
