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”.
