We are pleased to present the second edition of Sillion’s Annual Investor Sustainability Report, a guide for UK-listed companies to understand what investors want from corporate sustainability disclosures and communications.  

We interviewed a selection of asset managers based in the UK, EU, Asia and US to provide first-hand perspectives on sustainability- related issues relevant to 2022 and beyond. In speaking with a dozen asset managers with assets under management of over £2.5 trillion, we’ve collated the most salient themes regarding ESG strategy and disclosure and how these regulations may have a secondary effect on what investors will require from corporates moving forward.

Key takeaways from this report:

• Direct company-level environmental comparison is anticipated in the next twelve months.

• Fund-level ESG disclosures will place decisions with portfolio managers.

• Sophisticated ESG and stewardship continue to be marketing differentiators for asset managers.

• Scale of ESG analysis remains a challenge for investors – ESG ratings agencies are still important

• List of ESG demands on corporates is becoming longer and more complex, but also more consistent and predictable

If you have any questions about the insights or would like to learn more about how we can help you meet investor expectations, please get in touch by emailing us at hello@sillion.co.uk
