Active Ownership 2024
Active ownership means striving to create sustainable value for our clients. Our new report details how we sought to do this within our Asset Management business during 2024.
We have been committed to active engagement to represent investor rights since L&G’s Asset Management business was established in 1970, and our dedicated Investment Stewardship team was formed in 2000.
Our commitment to responsible investing is reflected in L&G’s purpose: “Investing for the long term. Our futures depend on it.”
As a universal owner[1] on behalf of our clients, we take responsibility to seek to address key macro and systemic risks, with the aim of tackling market issues and accelerating progress against complex, global sustainability challenges.
Our Active Ownership report details how we exercised voting rights across our entire book and engaged with companies, policymakers and other stakeholders with an aim to deliver positive change on topics including climate, nature, diversity, health and governance.

Key risks
Whilst L&G’s Asset Management business, where relevant, has integrated financially material Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations into its stewardship practices and investment decision-making, funds that do not include specific ESG goals within their objectives might not pursue responsible investing goals.
[1] Universal owners hold such large, diversified portfolios that they represent a slice of the entire market or economy. Because their investments span multiple sectors and industries, they are exposed to an array of macro and systemic risks.
