This webinar will practically explain the recent status and cases of stewardship work, a key element of responsible investment. To this end, James Robertson, Regional Director of PRI Asia, Paul Chandler, Director of Stewardship, and Emmet McNamy, Senior Specialist, will present on the importance, roles, and types of stewardship, and share detailed information on "active shareholder engagement." Additionally, Flora Wang, Director of Sustainable Investment at Fidelity International Asset Management, a PRI member institution, will present cases related to their ESG, stewardship, and proxy voting activities.
