Why Engagement International
Independence
We choose not to participate in any investment activities so that we can independently represent the interests of asset owners and asset managers in engagement dialogues on all ESG issues.
Systematic Process
We meet with companies on the phone or in person twice per year to systematically measure their progress towards the set engagement goals.
Specialised in Engagement
By working with MSCI ESG Research on data provision and Minerva Analytics on proxy voting, we are able to focus on being the engagement specialist to best serve your needs.
Input for Investments
Our client reporting on engagement progress and investment signal informs you whether and how a company aligns with your ESG approach.
Robust Methodology
We built our proprietary engagement rating methodology using sets of milestone assessments, which are based on widely-accepted international norms and industry best practices.
Flexibility
We help you to flexibly select the companies for engagement based on the ESG due diligence results and your investment strategy.
What Our Clients Say About Us
Since 2015 Engagement International has engaged on our behalf with portfolio companies in violation of international norms covered by UN Global Compact. Then in 2017 we decided to expand the scope to also cover the biggest climate change contributors. The engagement work has given us a good overview of which companies are actively working to solve the problems and which are not and we are pleased with the progress achieved so far.
