Description

๐Ÿ”Ž Is stewardship still delivering results, or just dialogue? As investor engagement on environmental and social issues faces political pushback and legal risks, investors are rethinking what effective stewardship looks like in a more demanding and skeptical environment.

In this episode of Sustainability Wired, Clarity AIโ€™s Chief Sustainability Officer Lorenzo Saa speaks with Valeria Piani, Chair of the Climate Action 100+ Steering Committee and Head of Stewardship at Phoenix Group. They explore whatโ€™s next for stewardship and whether it can still drive meaningful change.

They discuss:

โœ… Why outcomes, not activity, must define effective stewardship

โœ… How Climate Action 100+ is adapting to maintain relevance and credibility

โœ… The power of trust-based relationships and โ€œclick momentsโ€ in company engagement

โœ… How AI can streamline research and oversight without replacing human judgment

๐ŸŽง Tune in for a candid conversation on the future of active ownership and stewardship.
