In the first quarter of 2021, we highlighted diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and climate change among our stewardship priorities for the year. We believe these issues can affect long-term investment outcomes, and we seek to align our proxy voting decisions with our engagement efforts to encourage improvement. We wrote letters to all S&P 500 companies, communicating our updated voting approach, continuing our longstanding practice of engaging on these issues.

While the proposals varied in quality due to the absence of market standards, we assessed each plan on its merits, applying our knowledge of companies held in portfolios we manage on our clients’ behalf as well as our climate transition-risk research capabilities.
Finally, we advocated for best practices with regulators. To the US Securities and Exchange Commission, we communicated our support for mandatory disclosure of material climate risks, including an…
