  • Is the Cac 40 Responsible?
    IS THE CAC 40 RESPONSIBLE? ENGAGEMENT REPORT ANNUAL GENERAL MEETINGS 2020 MORE EFFORTS TO BE MADE Faced with the challenges of our time – climate change, the collapse of biodiversity, the global growth in inequality – the social responsibility of companies and investors is considerable. Responsible investors have a role to play in engaging in a constructive dialogue with companies on key issues that affect their future as well as that of their stakeholders. For this reason, in 2020, the FIR launched its first campaign of written questions, which were submitted to the general meetings of CAC 40 companies. Large companies not only have an impact on the economy but also on the environment and on the social equilibrium of the countries in which they operate. The FIR has therefore chosen to conduct this campaign with the CAC 40 by acquiring one share of each company on the CAC 40. While the FIR’s stock portfolio remains modest, the members of its “Dialogue and Engagement Commission” manage over €4,500 billion in assets, which is somewhat less so. In this campaign, which included 12 questions1 on 12 major social responsibility themes, our assessments were guided by the quality of the response and the seriousness with which companies answered. Although our analyses of the responses are necessarily subjective to a certain extent, this report is based on meticulous work carried out by a group of ESG analysis professionals, based on a detailed and shared analysis grid. We can say straight away that the answers we received did not live up to our expectations.
