Our latest survey shows that investment managers have ramped up their responsible investment (RI) efforts over the past two years. But is this effort driving real-world impact? The survey's key findings: 🔍 More managers are working towards net zero, but many expect a disorderly or failed transition. 🔍Board oversight of RI is up, yet only 25% of managers require RI training for board members. 🔍Formal escalation policies and independent voting are on the rise, though engagement still lacks focus and proactivity. 🔍While some managers engage with policymakers, efforts are often sporadic and lack focus on systemic financial risks.
