How ESG Active Ownership Shapes Sustainable Investments
In today’s rapidly evolving investment landscape, ESG Active Ownership has emerged as a pivotal strategy for institutional investors aiming to drive positive change. But what exactly does ESG Active Ownership entail, and why is it gaining so much traction?
What is ESG Active Ownership?
At its core, ESG Active Ownership involves institutional investors actively engaging with their portfolio companies to influence their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices. This proactive approach not only helps in meeting regulatory requirements but also propels long-term value creation. Inrate offers comprehensive ESG Stewardship Services that combine proactive ESG engagement with end-to-end proxy voting solutions.
