Our ENGAGEMENT and VOTING 02 at Shareholders’ Meetings

Engaging with companies is a key tenet of our role as investors: DIA Meeting the management and conducting on-site company visits are particularly important aspects of our research effort. Our objective is to gain a deep LO understanding of the company based on the realities of its operations and the vision of its executives. When voting at shareholders’ meetings, we discuss our GUE voting intentions with the companies concerned and inform them of our policy and of the best practices we wish to promote. We also physically attend some of the shareholders’ meetings.

These exchanges enable us to recommend and discuss best practices, notably in areas of governance, human rights or on social, societal and environmental issues. We encourage companies to integrate these challenges as a core strategic axis, and to improve transparency on the means in place and the results achieved. For more information, please read our Engagement Policy.

17% of the areas earmarked for improvement in 2018 dealt with human capital issues. As an example, we conducted a specific meeting with on the theme of gender equality in the workplace. With an 82% feminization rate at company level, 45% at management level and 25% at Executive Committee level, the challenge for Korian is to identify and promote female talents in order to make progress on the road to gender parity at the highest echelons of the company. The group is currently deploying a new skill management tool and will launch an intra-group women’s network in 2019, a project supported by the Managing Director, Sophie Boissard. One of the group’s HR priorities is the prevention of psychosocial risks, a major issue within the industry and directly related to the promotion of women. Korian is also among the founding partners of a support network committed to fighting violence against women; it has already set up a help hotline and an emergency child care system, and plans to improve its communication on these initiatives which remain under-used.

We also engaged with Mediawan on several governance-related areas earmarked for improvement, with a view to bringing directors mandates down from 6 to 4 years and improving transparency within the company’s compensation report.
