How Can We Tell Whether an Investor Is Serious and Strategic About Climate Policy — Or Just Paying Lip Service?

In its latest report, Time to Get Real, Volans argues that policy engagement is an important and under-utilized tool institutional investors can use to make progress on climate.

This webinar series, hosted by the report's co-authors Richard Roberts and Cami Daeninck, will build on that argument with deep dives into some of the key questions investors face in deciding whether—and how—to engage meaningfully on climate policy.

About The Session

For the series' second session, InfluenceMap will join Volans and a panel of experts to answer key questions, including:

• If you’re an asset owner (or a member of the public) trying to assess whether specific asset managers do good policy work, what are the indicators you should look at?
• What does good reporting on policy engagement look like?
• How can you discern the difference between firms that pay lip service to the importance of climate policy and those that walk the talk?
• And how do we ensure that meaningful engagement is incentivised, not tick-box compliance or performative advocacy?
