The Automotive Sector and Corporate Lobbying: Investor Perspectives

A London Climate Week Roundtable Hosted by Storebrand, InfluenceMap and the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change

Since Dieselgate in 2015 erased large amounts of shareholder value from automotive sector holdings, investors have been keenly interested in how companies in the sector engage with policy and regulations pertaining to emissions reduction and the electrification of road transport. This private roundtable event will explore recent investor trends on this topic and how effective collaboration can be strengthened.

About This Event

This invitation only, private breakfast roundtable will take place during London Climate Week and is aimed at increasing collaboration and understanding among the investment community towards stewardship of the European and global automotive sector towards electrification. The discussion will focus on how metrics and analysis on corporate policy engagement have been and continue to be used to guide investor engagement, portfolio allocation, and collaboration in the sector — as well as how investors can use their own voice to engage directly with policymakers on automotive and broader climate regulations.

The event is hosted by: Storebrand Asset Management, which has led on active stewardship on climate-related issues within the auto sector; the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC), which supports investor engagement with corporates and policymakers on climate and nature regulations; and InfluenceMap, which generates data and analysis used by investors globally. The event will kick off with remarks from Storebrand Asset Management CEO Jan Erik Saugestad, followed by remarks from the hosts and a moderated round table discussion.
