  • scaling up its financial education programmes to reach 50 million people
  • positively influencing 20 million people through micro-finance and micro-insurance products
  • investing 10% of its funds under management in the green economy and infrastructure.

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. We aim to be active and engaged investors: our South African asset manager has met our target of casting 100% of proxy votes, and we are making good progress across the rest of the Group. 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.
