At Rathbones we are committed to being good stewards of our clients’ assets. This means we look to use the investor rights and influence we have to protect and enhance overall long-term value, including the common economic, social, and environmental assets on which their interests depend.

Each year we select a number of topics for more focused, deeper engagement. We select those topics based on our understanding of the issues that most clients care about, and the ones which are most material to company performance.

We're pleased to share with you our 2024 Engagement Action Plan which outlines the core Environmental, Social and Governance issues we hope to see accelerated progress on in the year. In it you can read about how our team is planning to use the investor voice to encourage action on topics such as:

• Climate change
• Human rights in supply chains
• Nature and biodiversity
• Smaller company governance
• Sustainable mining
