Climate roundup: Net-zero group tackles manager proxy voting

By Susanna Rust2021-04-15T14:36:00+01:00 The way asset managers cast votes on climate-related issues should not be influenced by the status of company engagement “or other management considerations”, according to guidelines from the UN-convened Net-Zero Asset Owner Alliance (NZAOA). In a new publication – billed as being about ‘Elevating Climate Diligence on Proxy Voting Approaches’ – the group of asset owners wrote that asset managers’ proxy voting policies and supporting documents should “include a commitment to Climate Votes being evaluated based on merit of the proposal”. By way of example, the Alliance members indicated this would mean “a productive engagement is not used as an excuse for a vote against a shareholder proposal with which the manager finds merit”.

​Folksam, KPA set 2025 climate goals, counting on persuasion

By Rachel Fixsen2021-04-06T14:58:00+01:00 Swedish pensions and insurance group Folksam, and its municipal pension fund subsidiary KPA Pension, have set new 2025 climate goals, pledging to reduce carbon emissions associated with their equities, corporate bonds and real estate portfolios by 29% by then. Both firms also said they were aiming to persuade half of their highest-emitting investees to adopt science-based climate targets, and had adopted goals to promote the availability of green investments by convincing players in the primary market to offer them. Ylva Wessén, Folksam’s group chief executive officer, said her company’s goal of net-zero emissions by 2050 was ambitious, but not enough: “It must be broken down into equally ambitious sub-goals, linked to credible plans and followed up regularly.”
