ClearBridge Investments, part of Franklin Templeton, has launched its sixth annual report on  stewardship efforts to provide a comprehensive view of the latest in ESG investing.

Terrence Murphy, Chief Executive Officer, ClearBridge Investments notes: “Our annual stewardship report offers updates on our progress on net zero and highlights company engagements and proxy votes on pressing sustainability issues such as emissions reduction, responsible online content and board independence. The report also details how we are assessing the investment impacts of decarbonisation, human rights and other urgent topics across ClearBridge Investments portfolios.

“New this year, the report offers ClearBridge Investments’ ESG framework and value-added content on key topics such as the alignment of the firm’s investment framework with the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals.

“A compendium of our recent best thinking on the impact of ESG integration and engagement, ClearBridge Investments’ 2023 Stewardship Report is also an index to topics that will dominate investment conversations in the months and years ahead,” notes Mr Murphy.
