Institutional investors rely on Responsible Research’s ESG research and analytic tools to inform investment decisions and identify ESG opportunities which will drive long term performance. Responsible Research also recognises the increasing need of clients to exercise active ownership or stewardship to safeguard their investments against ESG risks.
Proactive stewardship on ESG issues is a necessary component to successful long term investment in emerging markets. While investors are increasingly engaging in and realising the benefits of active ownership in developed markets, the rationale for adoption of informed investor stewardship in emerging markets is even greater due to relatively weak corporate disclosure practices in these economies.
There are various ways through which investors may seek to engage with investee companies on ESG issues. Responsible Research’s engagement advisory services are custom fit to respond to the specific needs of clients. Engagement advisory includes a combination of the services identified below and other steps, if necessary.
- Identify material ESG issues within portfolios
- Prioritise target issues for which engagement may lead to successful outcomes
- Articulate investor communication to companies, outlining benefits to company and investor
- Mediate with companies through meetings and site visits
- Provide periodic reports on company progress against material ESG issues
- Assist, where appropriate, in bringing together investors with common interests to form collaborative engagement initiatives.
Responsible Research delivers its engagement advisory services through professionals with regional expertise and experience in engaging with Asian companies on ESG issues.
