answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2023 answer text <p>The UK Stewardship Code sets high standards for stewardship practice and disclosure. Signatories must explain their approaches to investment, including with regard to systemic risks such as climate change, and report annually on the outcome of their stewardship activities. It is for individual companies to decide which initiatives or commitments they pledge to fulfil. The Code does not require signatories to be committed to specific initiatives or targets. The Government welcomes the continued growth of the UN-convened Net Zero Asset Managers Alliance, which now has 301 signatories representing $59 trillion assets under management.</p> answering member constituency Thirsk and Malton answering member printed Kevin Hollinrake question first answered 29/06/2023 14:15:00 answering member 4474 label Biography information for Kevin Hollinrake
