Positive conversations - Baillie Gifford

Positive Conversations is an accompaniment to Baillie Gifford’s annual Impact Report using a different, but equally important, lens to look at the contribution of the Positive Change portfolio to society.

Only members with restricted access (ie. academics, asset owners, government and regulatory, independent advisers/trustees and sponsoring employers) can view this article. Please login or join to view.

This report is structured into three sections:

An overview of the business practices of holdings in the portfolio looking at carbon footprint and intensity, gender diversity and, new for this year, labour issues and human rights.
Two case studies demonstrating the types of ongoing conversations Baillie Gifford has with the companies held in their portfolio.
The report includes an overview of all Baillie Gifford’s voting and engagements over the 12-month period to end August 2019.
