Supporting the development of robust and usable policies
In 2023, we conducted 681 engagements with 503 entities, representing a 14% increase in engagements compared to 2022. The increase was observed both for engagement with objectives (298) and for sustainability dialogue (383, +60%).
Engagement and dialogue are often conducted in collaboration with various teams providing strategic and technical views of the company’s practices. Our integrated stewardship approach allows the information gained during engagement to be fed into investment-decision making.

Our 2023 engagement approach to biodiversity has been to focus our greatest efforts on companies implicated in the agrifood value chain as well as the chemical industry.
