Active Ownership

At Schroders, we believe we have certain responsibilities as investors and as guardians of our clients’ assets. That’s why we seek to actively influence corporate behaviour to ensure the companies we invest in are managed in a sustainable way. This means not just looking at what our investments are doing, but how they’re doing day-to-day. This helps us better protect and enhance the value of our clients’ investments.

Active ownership can be described in three ways

Active ownership in practice

Below is an example using the auto industry to help explain how active ownership works at Schroders.

Dialogue

Our investors regularly speak with the management of auto companies about what they’re doing to adapt to new environmental regulation and develop more electric vehicles.

Engagement

The sustainability investment team has collaborated with other investors to take a closer look at how companies are re-skilling their workforce for the shift to electric vehicles.

Voting

Drawing on the specialist knowledge and insight gained through dialogue and engagement, we have chosen to vote against some boards who are slow to adapt to this changing environmental regulation.

Sustainability analysis in practice

Knowing how to put these sustainability principles into practice is what unlocks value for you. Our reports detail the work that our teams do across the business to ensure your money is being managed in a responsible and sustainable way.

Managing your assets responsibly

Companies that prioritise good environmental, social and governance (ESG) management often perform better and deliver superior returns over time, both for you and society. To make sure we’re growing your money in the most responsible way, we actively influence corporate behaviour and promote sustainable business practises.

Our responsible investment policy documents provide more detail on our approach.
