And as a purpose-led organisation, stewardship is truly at the heart of what we do. For over 300 years, we have strived to be a long-term, indispensable partner for our clients and serve families over generations. Accordingly, we have always focused on creating long-term value for our clients and beneficiaries. As responsible investors, we also aim for our investments to deliver sustainable benefits for the economy, the environment and society. Our Stewardship Policy, which constitutes our statement of compliance with the 2020 UK Stewardship Code, sets out in detail how we prioritise stewardship and responsible ownership practices within our investment processes. In the year ahead we aim to further strengthen our stewardship activity and work with our partners to deliver sustainable outcomes for all our stakeholders.
