Our Engagement Solutions allows participation in a joint outreach and dialogue with companies on material sustainability-related themes. By engaging collaboratively, it is possible to leverage scale in discussions on sustainability issues and communicate concerns to corporate management more effectively.

This may include ongoing dialogue with targeted companies for enhanced disclosure, a push for improved sustainability performance, or the mitigation of Sustainability risks.
Our experience enables the measurement of progress over the engagement lifecycle, to evaluate engagement success and to track and report the status of engagements on a quarterly and annual basis.
