Although we are all currently focused on the COVID-19 pandemic, we are happy to take a moment to publish our Annual Stewardship and Responsible Investment Report, which gives an overview of all of Kempen’s work in 2019 to drive positive real world impacts alongside financial returns
The report details how we consider environmental, social and governance factors across all our portfolios, and reflects on our belief that the long-term viability of the companies in which Kempen and our clients invest is inextricably tied to the welfare of their stakeholders. This is an approach that we believe can help protect the value of assets through difficult times such as the current market and through the longer-term crisis of climate change.
The report also highlights the 264 companies we engaged with in 2019 on ESG themes from climate to CEO compensation, living wages to life sciences, deforestation to data privacy.
