Global Standards Engagement

When companies don’t adhere to these standards, incidents may occur that result in reputational damage and destroy shareholder value.

Sustainalytics’ Global Standards Engagement is an incident-driven<br/>engagement service triggered by violations of internationally recognized standards that offers investors a collaborative tool to support responsible ownership. Investors can follow and take part in Sustainalytics’ engagement dialogues, as well as extract information that is essential for investment decision-making and client reporting.

The engagement process builds upon the findings from Sustainalytics Global Standards Screening research on companies’ compliance with international norms on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues related to the UN Global Compact, the OECD Guidelines for Multinationals as well as various conventions on human rights, labor, the environment and weapons.

Sustainalytics’ initiates engagement with companies that are, or have been, involved in systematic business misconduct issues or in an isolated issue that has severe consequences for the environment or society. A change objective is set for every engagement case in order to actively influence companies to address identified problems or risks and opportunities.
