We believe that companies with good corporate governance practices and engaged shareholders are more likely to achieve the superior long-term financial performance that our members need. Strong governance in the companies in which we invest ensures they will manage all of their risks and opportunities appropriately, including those related to environmental and social factors.

By actively engaging with the companies in which we invest and, where appropriate exercising our voting rights, we can have a positive influence. This helps us to enhance long-term investment returns for our beneficiaries.
