Company engagements on environmental, social and governance topics

The list below indicates the number of interactions we had with companies on ESG topics in 2023, either through meetings or written correspondance. 

As set out in our 2025 Climate action plan, we strive to be more transparent on our approach to managing climate risk and share additional climate-related information:

• Climate change indicates with which companies we had interactions on this topic specifically in 2023.
• Our climate engagement focus list includes companies representing 70 percent of our equity portfolio’s financed scope 1 and scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions, our largest holdings in sectors with significant indirect exposure to climate risk, and additional companies with elevated climate risk based on proprietary assessments.
• Net zero target indicates whether a company has established a science-based net-zero emissions target by the year 2050 covering its Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Our criteria for recognizing such targets includes a number of factors such as a reduction in company-wide emissions by at least 90%. This indicator is the result of automated data analysis. Inaccuracies may occur due to flaws in the underlying data, the data processing or information may have become outdated. The underlying data is sourced from the Science-based Targets Initiative and MSCI ESG Research LLC.
