Annual Sustainability Report
ESG Integration, Stewardship and Sustainability have long been an important part of our investment approach. As long-term investors, we have always recognised the need to understand, analyse and assess all aspects of a company’s operations and practices. Long-term success depends upon sound processes alongside robust governance.
In recent years, scrutiny of these non-financial metrics has increased significantly as has our need to report upon our efforts. This report demonstrates our approach to ESG Integration, Stewardship and Sustainability, as well as documenting our proxy voting and engagement activity.
This report also serves as our response to the UK Stewardship Code.

2024 was a year of steady progress for Walter Scott in the ever-evolving area of ESG Integration, Stewardship and Sustainability.
Our fifth Annual Sustainability Report builds on years of developing disclosure in this area and covers a range of themes that are increasingly important to many of our clients.
