We are pleased to release the second Aotearoa New Zealand Stewardship Review. Titled ‘A Leap in Transparency’, this Review summarises the various investor stewardship activity happening in New Zealand during 2024. Of the numerous developments, that marked increase in stewardship related disclosures (up from 1 in 2023 to 16 in 2024) is a significant development, reflecting continued maturation of responsible investment activity across New Zealand.
The report also contains guidance for areas where further improvements are encourages, such as providing greater detail on how conflicts of interest are identified and managed, and how third parties are monitored. You can read more in the full report available here.
Thank you to the Founding Signatories, Signatories, and everyone who has supported the Stewardship Code.
