DECISION:

To accept the report and note the information

A quarterly report was submitted summarising the work that Robeco (WPP Voting and Engagement Provider) undertook on behalf of the Pension Fund, including the engagement work.

The members thanked the officer for the report.

Observations arising from the ensuing discussion:

·        Information was needed about the timetable for developing an escalation policy. The timetable would be useful to answer questions that arose often

·        There was a need to ensure that the policy was effective - a clear definition was required of when intervention would be timely

·        The report was positive and had been presented well

·        A suggestion to consider using emojis as a way of drawing attention towards the highlights within the report

RESOLVED

To accept and note the information.
