Change what you don’t like, invest in what you do

At Quintet, we place sustainability at the heart of our business and as a driver of our clients’ investments. We engage as active owners because we are convinced that when companies adopt sustainable practices they become better businesses, which benefits investors, society and the planet.

Investors can use their voice to press for positive change through a combination of dialogue with companies and voting at shareholder meetings. That is what is meant by “active ownership”, which constitutes a key part of our investment strategy.

Change what you don’t like. Invest in what you do. That’s what we believe.

In 2021, at Quintet we voted on over 10,454 proposals
at more than 760 shareholder meetings across the world.

Environmental and social matters were front of mind, as demonstrated by our support of more than 90% of shareholder proposals on these topics, which is more than double the industry average.
