Fund Provider Response

At ANZ, our approach to responsible investment includes ESG integration, stewardship, and exclusions. We integrate ESG considerations in our evaluation of companies and selection of external investment managers. We demonstrate stewardship through direct engagement and proxy voting and indirectly through the expectations we have of our external managers. We also exclude some companies and industries based on their involvement in specified activities, or for breaching global norms. Please see our website for further information on our approach to responsible investment: https://www.anz.co.nz/personal/investing-kiwisaver/about-anz-investments/responsible-investing/

Fund Provider Response

At ANZ, our approach to responsible investment includes ESG integration, stewardship, and exclusions. We integrate ESG considerations in our evaluation of companies and selection of external investment managers. We demonstrate stewardship through direct engagement and proxy voting and indirectly through the expectations we have of our external managers. We also exclude some companies and industries based on their involvement in specified activities, or for breaching global norms. Please see our website for further information on our approach to responsible investment: https://www.anz.co.nz/personal/investing-kiwisaver/about-anz-investments/responsible-investing/
