Quarter 1 2025: Our active stewardship illustrated
As a long-term investor, we engage in regular dialogue with the companies in which we invest to encourage them to improve their practices for taking environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria into account. Find out how our active approach to stewardship was borne out in Q1 2025.
*This data refers to the number of meetings where Carmignac took a vote position against the recommendation of the board. In practice, this refers to votes cast against management-led resolutions and, in most cases, votes cast for shareholder-led resolutions (unless the shareholder-led resolution is supported by management).
Carmignac is committed to aligning its dialogue strategy with five types of engagement: engagement on ESG ratings, thematic engagement, impact engagement, engagement on controversial behaviour, and engagement on proxy voting decisions.
In Q1 2025, we initiated dialogue with investee companies 25 times and across four types of engagement. No impact engagement was undertaken in Q1 2025.
Our engagements cover a full spectrum of environmental, social and governance topics. Engagements may be relevant to more than one category at the same time. The proportion of our engagements which had environmental, social and governance relevance in Q1 2025 was as follows.
In Q1 2025, Carmignac voted against the management of our investee companies at least once at 56% of meetings voted.
