44: Active Ownership 2019: A year of corporate governance

From the Melrose-GKN bid to the first results of our Climate Impact Pledge, 2018 was a crucial year for better understanding the decisions companies make and how we can make sure the interests of investors are looked after. Technological developments mean that companies are disclosing more data than ever before on their policies and other environmental, social and governance (ESG) metrics, informing our investment and engagement decisions. Sacha Sadan and Meryam Omi join the podcast to talk about the key issues on which they engaged with companies, the recent ESG regulations here in the UK, and the top questions they receive from clients on responsible investing.
