Stewardship Report 2024
We are delighted to share our annual stewardship report with you, highlighting our engagement and voting activities undertaken in 2024. Our stewardship activities are an integral part of our approach to investment, being one of our three foundational principles, and contribute to our ability to deliver real returns to our clients over the long term.
Our investment process focuses on identifying companies with durable business models and cash flow generation. As our sole aim is to deliver long-term returns ahead of inflation for our clients, we will only invest in companies that our internal research indicates have strong financial characteristics and corporate government structures. As an active long-term shareholder, we aim to build trusting relationships. We engage with companies in order to contribute to their long-term success and promote sustainable value creation. Stewardship is therefore central to delivering good client outcomes.
Our stewardship activities include monitoring and engaging with companies on issues that are considered material to their long-term success. These include strategy, financial performance, capital allocation, business practices, social and environmental risk management and opportunities, remuneration and corporate governance. Our voting and engagement activities work hand-in-hand to promote good stewardship of our clients’ assets.
We commit to voting at company general meetings and, where necessary and possible, we engage with companies before voting to discuss concerns and our voting intentions. We also commit to responding to companies should they write to us or request a meeting on an issue. Given our focus on high-quality companies and detailed investment research, we expect to be supportive of company management. However, we are willing to be a critical friend in the pursuit of encouraging long-term success.
We focus on materiality to promote long-term value creation and resilience.
Our stewardship principles
1
Invest in high-quality companies
We will not hold shares in companies where we see material risks to the long-term success of the business.
2
Culture of partnership with management teams
We value progress in pursuit of long-term improvements.
3
An aversion to box ticking
We focus on what is important to each business.
4
A focus on all stakeholders
We recognise that businesses exist within society and therefore have a duty to all stakeholders, not just shareholders.

Meetings
740
proposals
28
letters
We had 154 company meetings, of which 86 were 1:1 meetings. 35 of these were wholly focused on governance, social and environmental issues. We voted on over 740 proposals at 42 company meetings. We also sent 28 letters as part of our efforts to work in partnership with our investee companies and encourage long-term value creation.
We know there are always new things to learn. To satisfy our curious minds we have had over 350 further research meetings with broker analysts and experts. These help us find the right opportunities in a rapidly changing world. We also attended a number of conferences ranging from particular sector issues such as healthcare, robotics and automation to corporate governance, nature and artificial intelligence.
Alongside stewardship and real returns, partnership is our third foundational principle. As we strive to be thoughtful long-term partners to the companies we invest in, we also deeply value our partnership with our clients and the trust they have put in us to be stewards of their assets. As in the previous two years, we held a client roundtable to share views on engagement and voting in more detail. For the first time, we also held a session with investment consultants to enhance understanding of how we approach these key issues as long-term investors.
As an active long-term shareholder, we aim to build lasting relationships.

Main engagement topics covered in 2024
Board composition
Exploring whether board members have the range of expertise and independence required and provide constructive challenge and strategic vision
Supply chains
Understanding the impact of China/US trade wars, including tariffs, as well as environmental and social practices in supply chains
Capital allocation
Understanding priorities between driving organic growth through employees, research & development or capex, M&A opportunities and returning capital to shareholders
Environmental issues, including carbon
Understanding companies’ preparedness for the shift to a low-carbon economy, including opportunities and risks, and consideration of other material risks such as water, waste and biodiversity
Audit quality
Encouraging companies with long-tenured auditors to consider putting the audit contract to tender to ensure best practice, cost effectiveness and no conflicts of interest
Automation and artificial intelligence
Opportunities and threats from increased use of automation and AI, both to increase productivity in our companies and where they have new opportunities or risks to their business from technological developments
Employee welfare and inclusion
Understanding the culture of a company, employee retention, how employees are treated and fairness of pay in a competitive landscape for talent
Regulation
Particularly readiness and the impact of European regulation and potential changes in the US made by the Trump administration
We consider strong governance as critical for all companies.
Every company should be headed by an effective board, which is collectively responsible for the long-term success of the company. We look for boards with varied and relevant skillsets and experience who are able to constructively support and challenge management teams.
In our call with members of the Avery Dennison board it was clear that the company has an engaged and knowledgeable board, with recent additions enhancing their cybersecurity expertise. We also discussed how their board members are active participants in ‘advisory councils’ alongside management and external experts in individual focus areas. This is an interesting way of leveraging their expertise and further adding value to the company.
In 2024, it was clear that the US was becoming even more politically divided on ESG, specifically environmental and social issues. With the incoming Trump administration and Republicans controlling the House of Representatives and the Senate, further debate about the role of ESG and whether this is against fiduciary duty is likely to continue rather than dissipate. We continue to encourage companies to consider environmental and social factors that are material to their business. More than ever, they will need to clearly communicate the rationale behind these decisions and the impact on the long-term success of their company.
Before the election and increasingly afterwards, we have seen various companies step back from their diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programmes as well as watering down some climate commitments. This included Tractor Supply Company after being targeted by an activist on the issue. While we firmly believe in equal opportunities, equal pay for equal work and the right for all to work with dignity in a respectful environment, we do not ask companies to set DEI targets.
We prefer to see relevant policies and programmes in place to improve equity and inclusion, which includes training, mentorship and upskilling opportunities. We encourage disclosure of adjusted pay gaps signifying equal pay for equal work. We value disclosure of informed unadjusted gender/racial pay gaps as well as gender/racial representation across different levels of seniority over time. This allows stakeholders to judge opportunity, equality and inclusion progression rather than assuming there is a ‘magic percentage’ of diversity statistics regardless of a company’s industry, history or location.
In a rapidly changing world and with the workforce set to contract across many geographies the ability to attract, retain and develop talent will be vital for long-term success. We believe attracting and retaining talent from a range of backgrounds, with different skillsets and perspectives as relevant to the company’s business model, improves judgement and decision making and avoids groupthink, supporting long-term business performance.
The workforce is set to contract in Germany by 17% and in Japan by 34% by 2050.1

2024 was the first year that global temperatures rose more than 1.5°C from pre-industrial temperatures.

The effects of climate change pose increasing risks to the financial system and economies of the world, as well as introducing potential physical or transition risks at an individual company level. As an active investment manager with a long-term view, we need to incorporate climate risk into our thinking and encourage resilience in the financial system and individual companies.
2024 was the first year that global temperatures rose more than 1.5°C from pre-industrial temperatures. While this does not mean that the Paris agreement has been breached (this would require higher temperatures to be sustained for a decade or longer) we are seeing extreme weather events such as flooding, droughts and wildfires. These are having a significant impact. An analysis of US home insurance showed that people living in the highest 20% of climate risk areas paid 82% more than those in the bottom 20%.2 In some locations, insurance companies are already refusing to provide insurance to residential and commercial customers.
We strongly believe that all companies need to be aware of their physical and transition risks with regards to climate change. Collecting data and building robust policies and processes to reduce emissions, as well as disclosing this information, can offer financial advantages. We encourage companies to focus on potential financial benefits, such as lower costs and avoiding financial penalties that may arise from regulation, such as carbon taxes, or customer preferences for lower-carbon products. Financial loss from failing to adequately prepare for the physical risks of climate change is also becoming a reality. As detailed later in this report, we have had interesting conversations with investee companies such as Labcorp Holdings on this issue. Although it appears that the US will not be furthering climate regulations or required disclosures, many European, Asian and even some US individual states do require disclosure. US companies with global revenues will therefore still need to collect, monitor and disclose data on these issues.
People in the highest climate risk areas paid 82% more than those in low-risk areas.
Engagement
Engagement is an important part of our research and monitoring work. We consider the extent to which companies are:
- Setting strategic objectives that build long-term, successful business models and prioritising the achievement of these strategic objectives over short-term performance
- Managing risk effectively, as seen from the perspectives of multiple stakeholders
- Implementing an appropriate capital structure through a process of sound capital allocation
- Promoting good corporate governance, including strong corporate cultures and appropriate remuneration and incentives
- Communicating transparently and producing high-quality disclosures and reporting.
We seek to engage with our investee companies at least annually. Our engagements are undertaken in a spirit of partnership, whereby we work with companies to promote long-term value creation and resilience. We therefore aim to engage directly with company executives, specialised senior management and board members. Our engagements take the form of meetings, both in person and virtual, and through written correspondence. We write letters when we initiate a position, after a company’s AGM when we have not voted with management on an issue, and when we exit a position. These often lead to a meeting and further discussion with the company. We commit to responding to companies when they write to us about an issue or request a meeting.
We work with companies to promote long-term value creation and resilience.
Further details of our engagement strategy can be found in our Engagement policy on our website.
Letters
During 2024, we wrote 28 letters to our companies. These included two letters after initial purchases of Cadence Design Systems and AMETEK as well as letters to Infineon, Nike and Kuehne+Nagel to inform management of our rationale behind decisions to exit their shares. Most other letters were to inform companies of our voting decisions, particularly important when we had not supported management on a proposal (see Voting activities section).
It is critical to retain talent in a highly competitive, global market.
We also wrote to the chairman of London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) about executive compensation following their request for our views and a meeting with the chair of the remuneration committee to discuss proposed changes to their compensation plans. The changes reflect the company’s transformation to a data business rather than a traditional stock exchange with the associated requirement to align the CEO’s compensation to global peers. We supported their proposals as we believe it is critical to retain talent in a highly competitive, global market. However, in our meeting and subsequent letter, we also suggested they consider additional metrics regarding returns on capital and cash flow in their compensation metrics to ensure alignment with our mutual interest of long-term value creation.
Engaging for information
We engage for information when we would like to learn more about a company’s thoughts and processes around a particular issue rather than having a specific concern or an addressable outcome. Examples during this year include:
AI
AI has continued to be an important topic and we were pleased to discuss responsible AI with an executive at Microsoft. The company had published their 2024 Responsible AI Transparency Report3, which includes case studies about how they ensure all generative AI products are tested to responsible AI standards. The report highlights the quantitative metrics assessed for each model such as groundedness, relevance, similarity, context risks and jailbreak success rate. While our discussion and the report give comfort that the company is taking these issues seriously, we asked the company to provide some metrics and more detail about these measures. We were also pleased to hear that, although AI is significantly increasing the energy requirements for Microsoft’s cloud business, they remain committed to meeting their carbon pledges and actively continue to promote low-carbon solutions.
Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity also continues to be an important issue, with McKinsey projecting an economic cost of $10.5 trillion per annum from 2025. We engage with many of our companies to understand more about how they are approaching this issue and improving their skills. During an engagement with Marsh & McLennan we discovered that some members of the board and management teams were briefed by the head of the FBI’s cybersecurity team. It is increasingly expected that all members of the board (rather than a specific sub-committee such as audit) take responsibility for cyber risk.
This view was reiterated at Avery Dennison, with one board member telling us that ‘you can never have enough focus and time on cyber, however much time you give’. This is
a sentiment that UnitedHealth Group certainly shared: a recent acquisition suffered a hack in March 2024 even though they had increased the board’s focus on cybersecurity. They have since built up security further, including by strengthening their internal cyber team. They also have a long-term transformation project for the technology of the entire company that will enable best-in-class cyber programmes. They recognise their significant role in the US healthcare system and intend to ensure that nothing like this happens again.
Cybersecurity is likely to cost $10.5tn per annum by 2025.
Supply chains
We met with the CEO and head of Code of Practice team responsible for supply chains at Next during a visit to their headquarters. This was an opportunity to continue our discussions with the company regarding how they ensure fair pay and treatment of workers in their vast supply chain. They explained how the apparel industry is a complex web of companies across a global supply chain and that achieving a level playing field amongst different retailers is difficult. They also explained how paying all workers in their supply chain the living wage would raise their costs by 25-30% and be a significant disadvantage if other apparel retailers did not follow suit. Raising wages but going out of business would not be a sensible strategy.
However, Next will argue for higher pay for workers if these are universal rules. During negotiations between unions and government over minimum wage in Bangladesh, Next sided with the workers and pushed for a higher wage increase than the rest of the industry. The workers achieved a 56% increase in pay which has raised Next’s and their competitors’ costs. This is an industry-wide issue and Next are playing a leadership role in addressing it fairly.
Climate
We continue to engage with companies on reducing their carbon footprint and improving energy efficiency, noting that the vast majority of our companies now have good disclosure and most have some targets in place for further improvements. We have continued to engage with Align Technology on this issue. We had a productive discussion with Align’s CEO and noted improvements in disclosure in their proxy report.
We also want to ensure our companies are prepared for extreme weather events, as referenced earlier. Conversations with senior leaders at Labcorp and Intuitive Surgical reassured us that this was indeed being considered. As a critical provider of diagnostic testing in the US, Labcorp has focused on site-by-site resilience against hurricanes and floods (e.g. sandbags, boarding and back-up generators), whereas Intuitive Surgical’s efforts have been around diversification of its supply chain to ensure vital medical supplies reach hospitals. Both referenced the need to utilise data centres in multiple locations on different electricity grids.
Engaging for change
Where we have specific requests that we would like a company to adopt, we ‘engage for change’ and monitor progress according to our engagement milestones, as set out below.
1
Raising the issue with the company.
2
Receiving acknowledgement from the company that our concerns are valid.
3
Receiving confirmation from the company that it is developing a plan to address the issue.
4
Receiving confirmation from the company that the plan is implemented and the objective is delivered.
Closed
No longer hold the company in client portfolios or no longer consider the issue material.
Given our focused list of 25–40 high-quality securities, we have found that our engagements for change on some issues have reduced, particularly as many of our companies are already disclosing and setting targets on environmental information.
Our current engagements by topic and milestone
Snapshot at 31st December 2024
Many of our companies have already improved disclosures.
Board independence
As previously mentioned, many of our US companies take a different view to ours on the benefits of changing auditor. Similarly, board independence is another area where views on tenure differ across the Atlantic. We have, however, made progress with sub-committee chairs or lead independent directors being truly independent at Amphenol, Avery Dennison, Broadridge Financial Services, Intuitive Surgical, Labcorp and Marsh & McLennan, helped by the passage of time and companies recognising the need for new skills. We continue to discuss these issues with our companies, focusing on ensuring sufficient challenge to auditors and management teams. We therefore continue to expect a high level of Milestone 1 engagements in these categories.
Compensation
We were also pleased to hear from Labcorp that their focus on human capital and staff retention has been rewarded. Employee engagement and improving wages and benefits have contributed to a decline in voluntary attrition rates to more normal levels post the pandemic highs.
Executive compensation continues to be an important area. We were contacted by Sonova to discuss their level of compensation disclosure in response to ISS (proxy voting service and adviser) recommending that investors vote against their compensation report. Our conversation with the head of compensation and benefits highlighted their concern that disclosing management incentive targets would share too much information with competitors about their long-term expectations. We pointed out that most companies do provide target ranges that help shareholders gain comfort that top pay awards are for stretched goals and aligned with commitments made to the financial markets.
Given that we had no concerns on the quantum of pay, we chose to abstain rather than vote against and sent a letter to the chair to explain our vote. We received a response from the chair thanking us for our transparency and informing us that the board has set up a taskforce to improve disclosure of financial targets in the executive compensation plan from 2025.
Progress in 2024 by category
Environmental data and target setting
Having engaged with Fiserv since 2021 on their environmental disclosures and target setting, we were pleased that the company continued to make improvements. In its 2024 sustainability report Fiserv set a greenhouse gas target of a 50% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, compared to a 2019 baseline. In our subsequent call with the company, the head of corporate social responsibility mentioned that their discussions with investors (including us) played a role in highlighting the importance of these targets and encouraging management to set them.

Collaborative engagement
As shareholders in a focused list of companies, our in-depth research process and long-term approach mean we get to know our investee companies in great detail. We believe this is vital for successful engagements. We are therefore confident that where we choose to pursue engagements with investee companies on our own, we can reach a successful outcome for our clients.
Where appropriate, we will engage with other investors. This may relate to systemic issues such as climate change or nature loss, or relate to asset classes such as fixed income, where we do not usually have a direct relationship with issuers.
Corporates
In 2024, we continued our participation in the Ceres Valuing Water finance initiative by joining an investor group focusing on Microsoft’s use of water, particularly for cooling datacentres. We expect a meeting with the company to discuss this in 2025. We also continued to follow up with Kerry Group regarding assessing water risk in their supply chains. The company has noted that this issue was ranked as a high risk on their double materiality assessment (which we participated in) and confirmed that Kerry was planning on doing in-depth work on the issue in the second half of 2024.
We are investor participants of Nature Action 100, an initiative which aims to drive greater corporate ambition and action on tackling nature loss and biodiversity decline. In 2024 we joined two investor groups under this initiative, representing two of our larger US-based bond holdings. During the year we held initial engagement calls with both companies in which we were able to gain a deeper insight into their current approach to nature and existing targets. We also joined the TNFD4 forum to further our knowledge of these issues going forwards.
Regulators and governments
We will also conduct collaborative engagement to influence both issuers and supervisory bodies, such as regulators or governments. This involves dialogue with public policy makers on the development of effective regulation, including responding to policy consultations, providing technical input via regulatory working groups and signing public statements from investor groups.
In 2024, we were delighted to be on the signatory list of the UK Stewardship Code for the 4th subsequent year. We also participated in industry group sessions and a roundtable with the Financial Reporting Council on potential changes to the Stewardship Code.

Members of the team were also involved in industry group discussions about the anti-greenwashing rule and the Sustainability Disclosure Requirements, including a discussion with the relevant team at the Financial Conduct Authority.
We signed the Global Investor Statement to Governments on Climate Change to encourage governments to set credible, clear pathways and regulations to assist economies to move towards net zero.
Voting activities
We regard shareholder voting as an important means of communicating with companies to promote good stewardship of our clients’ assets. Although separated here for reporting purposes, voting is not an isolated act and therefore goes hand-in-hand with our broader engagement work, as the examples below demonstrate.5
A summary of our voting activity over the past year is shown in the pie charts and a full breakdown of the votes cast on behalf of our clients is included in the appendix. We only invest in well-run companies that have strong management teams and governance structures, so we typically expect to vote in line with board recommendations. But as in previous years, there have been cases this year when we felt it necessary to vote against certain management proposals and in favour of some shareholder proposals.
Voting goes hand-in-hand with our broader engagement work.
As the pie chart shows, the vast majority (88%) of our votes have been in line with management. However, as in previous years, there are always exceptions and we voted against 9% of management proposals and in favour of 46% of shareholder proposals. These decisions are not taken lightly and reflect our independent judgement, anaylsis and the outcome of engagements with companies. When we vote against management, we write to explain our decision.
Director independence and auditor tenure
Director independence and auditor tenure continue to be areas where we have differing opinions to many US companies. While we understand the benefits of a range of tenures, we continue to expect directors who hold particular roles of responsibility, such as the chair of a committee or the lead independent director to be truly independent (defined as less than 12 years of tenure).
Similarly, we adopt a European perspective, expecting audit contracts to be retendered after 10 years and changed after 20 years. In contrast, the US opinion is that long auditor tenures are positive. Details of votes against management on these issues are in the appendix.
Votes with/against and abstentions
Votes by theme
Executive compensation
As mentioned previously, we abstained from approving the executive compensation report at Sonova following our engagement with them on their limited disclosure of compensation targets. We also abstained on the executive compensation structure at DSM-Firmenich due to the excessive use of ESG metrics at between 30-50% of incentives. While we applaud the company on its efforts, some of the targets relate to actions the company will have to take due to regulation or are already well on track to achieve. Over the long term, operating in a responsible manner and providing sustainable solutions will be reflected in the company’s resilience and financials.
We prefer the approach of companies such as Labcorp, who have introduced a negative ESG modifier. Up to 10% of the annual bonus for executives could be cut if they did not achieve a number of qualitative ESG targets. We appreciate this approach as it treats material ESG issues as an essential part of managing the business for long-term success.
Shareholder proposals
Our voting for shareholder proposals (i.e. against management) declined again in 2024 to 46%, down from 66% in 2022 and 47% in 2023. This is for several reasons:
- The majority of our companies now have sufficient disclosure and most have set suitable environmental targets
- Some shareholder proposals are politically motivated
- Some proposals are too onerous for management teams and/or the company already provides much of the information requested
- In some cases the issues raised in proposals are not material to the company.
Voting rights
We voted for the shareholder proposal at Align Technology’s AGM to adopt a simple majority vote requirement after engaging with the company to understand their rationale for retaining some supermajority provisions. Following the meeting, we noted that none of our US companies have any supermajority provisions and could not identify a situation where, even with a simple majority vote requirement, shareholders would vote for proposals against their own interests. The proposal was successful.
We continued to support the shareholder proposal asking for all share classes to have one vote per share at Alphabet. We also supported a proposal at Amphenol requesting that the ownership threshold for shareholders to call a special meeting be reduced from 25% to 15%. This would increase shareholder rights.
AI
Shareholder proposals around AI were also a feature of the 2024 proxy season. We voted for shareholder proposals at the AGMs of Amazon (requesting the company establishes a board committee on AI) and Alphabet (requesting an amendment to the audit and compliance committee charter to include AI oversight). We recognise that AI is a fast-moving field and the risks stemming from its rapid evolution require enhanced board and management oversight.
We also supported a proposal asking Alphabet to publish an independent third-party report on human rights risk assessment of AI-driven targeted ad policies. Several academic studies have documented human rights risk factors associated with targeted advertising. We did not support a shareholder proposal at Microsoft asking for a report on the risks related to AI-generated misinformation because they had already published their industry-leading Responsible AI Transparency report. However, in view of the increasing legal risks associated with data sourcing and reputational risks associated with copyright infringement, we did support a shareholder proposal asking for a report on AI data sourcing accountability.
Independent decisions
We use proxy services provider ISS to help with the administrative aspects of voting, and we find their analysis of proposals helpful. However, we always take our own voting decisions based on our voting policy and knowledge of the company in question. We will often seek to discuss specific resolutions with the companies directly when we feel it would aid our decision making. This means that we sometimes vote against ISS recommendations. This was the case for 10% of resolutions in 2024.
We always take our own voting decisions.
As well as voting against several directors and auditors due to independence and tenure, in contrast to ISS recommendations, we also voted for several directors when ISS recommended a vote against. These included Jeff Bezos at Amazon, where ISS recommended a vote against on the basis of continued ESG risk. We believe Amazon has invested greatly in employee safety and benefits, as well as making good progress on environmental issues. Further, we believe that Bezos is a strong contributor to the board and company.
We also voted in favour of Patrick Firmenich, Chair of the Governance and Nomination committee at DSM-Firmenich. ISS recommended a vote against because the company’s board gender diversity is less than 40%. We do not expect boards to set diversity targets and believe that Patrick Firmenich’s experience as founder and a former CEO of Firmenich is particularly valuable in wake of the company’s merger with DSM.

Looking ahead
We look forward to continuing our partnership with our investee companies in 2025. With a change in the US administration, we expect further debate on the role of investment management and corporates in addressing long-term systemic issues such as climate or social problems. With our long-term approach, we firmly believe in encouraging companies to focus on material issues that will directly affect their business resilience and financial performance.
Our over-riding objective is to enable our clients to achieve their financial objectives. In investing on their behalf, we will continue to be a critical friend to our investee companies and find common ground that encourages long-term value creation, resilience and success.
