Stewardship Masterclass: Outcomes Reporting

In February 2026, the Aotearoa New Zealand Stewardship Code partnered with EY to host a masterclass on outcomes reporting for investors, with contributions from the Australian Council of Superannuation Investors (ACSI).

Outcomes reporting has emerged as a key priority for Stewardship Code signatories, reflecting a broader shift in expectations - from describing stewardship activity to explaining what difference that activity has made.

This recorded session (the public portion of the masterclass) is available below, and explores:

• The difference between activity reporting and outcomes reporting

• Common pitfalls in outcomes disclosure

• What credible, defensible reporting looks like

The session features insights from EY on how to approach outcomes reporting, alongside practical examples from ACSI on how outcomes are tracked and communicated in stewardship practice.

The closed, signatory-only portion of the workshop included practical case studies and peer discussion under Chatham House Rule.

We hope this recording supports investors looking to strengthen the clarity, credibility, and effectiveness of their stewardship disclosures.
