Old Mutual on Embedding Responsible Investment

Getting it right

To support our drive for best practice in responsible investment, we constantly monitor our compliance with our Responsible Investment Standard.

A proxy vote is where we vote on a company resolution at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) on behalf of the people who have delegated that responsibility to us.

UK Food Charities Face Real Challenges in Feeding the Most Vulnerable

Neighbourly, the social network for social good reveals in its latest survey that 218 UK food charities face real challenges in helping to feed society’s most vulnerable: lack of storage, refrigeration, transport and funding are limiting the voluntary sector’s ability to do more for those in need of food. Collectively, these organisations help to feed over 30,000 people every week, equivalent to 1.56 million meals per year, and face major challenges trying to tackle the country’s food poverty.
