Corporate Engagement and Interaction

One of the key principles of responsible investment is to engage in dialogue with investee companies, encouraging them to pursue social and environmental sustainability alongside profitable growth. Therefore, Cathay actively participates in corporate engagement initiatives, aspiring to be a leader in investment engagement actions in Taiwan.

Voting

As responsible investors, financial institutions should assess the impact of a resolution and support companies that prioritize governance, social and environmental measures to implement fiduciary governance and protect the public interest. As for shareholder resolutions, they are an effective way for shareholders to communicate their views to company management. Cathay Life carefully evaluates the rationale behind such resolutions before making voting decisions, with the aim of enhancing the long-term value of the investee company.
