Climate Change and Shareholder Engagement

Nearly all companies have exposure to climate change; we must commit to zero the carbon emission at the highest level. Shareholder engagement had never been more crucial on climate change that now, taking ownership of the decision-making of climate change adaption will improve long-term sustainability and stakeholder buy-in of climate change adaption interventions. At The Nest Summit, Bruce Duguid, Head of Stewardship, Federated Hermes, and Mark Sherlock, CFA, FCA, Head of US Equities, Lead Portfolio Manager, Federated Hermes, explain the importance of investment and engagement rather than divesting, how significant climate change is for stewardship, and some notable companies are working towards zero carbon emission
