Right to vote

As a long-term investor, we want our portfolio companies to adopt best practices. This is why we engage in dialogue with them to explain our expectations on environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters.

In addition, we analyze each proposal submitted at shareholder meetings and exercise our proxy voting rights.
