Una voce che conta

We take action to address key themes and emerging environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues that could impact the value of our clients’ investments.

LGIM’s clients are invested in thousands of companies around the globe. As we manage these investments on their behalf, and seek to deliver positive long-term outcomes, we have a responsibility to address topics that can impact companies, sectors and entire markets. We outline below some of the issues on which we engage with companies, governments, regulators, our peers and other stakeholders

Board accountability

To be successful, we believe companies need to have people at the helm who are best-equipped to generate resilient and long-term growth. By voting on and engaging directly with companies, we encourage the formation of management structures that help companies to control risks and benefit from emerging opportunities.

Resilience and long-termism

As a long-term investor, it is essential that markets are able to continue to generate value for our clients over time. We work to prevent market behaviours that are detrimental to the value-creation of our clients’ assets.

Sustainable systems

Board Diversity

Having a diverse board can strengthen and broaden a board’s dialogue and debate, leading to better decisions for investors. We believe that having a mix of genders, ethnicities, ages, cultures, nationalities, experiences, skills and technological know-how is important in order to enrich the decision-making process in the boardroom.
