engagementreport Overview of all activities conducted by Raiffeisen KAG in implementation of its engagement policy
2022
Responsibility as an investor “Engagement” is a broad term that covers corporate dialogue and the exercise of voting rights. But it is also often simply used as a synonym for dialogue with companies. Corporate dialogue and the exercise of voting rights are intended to make use of all rights and opportunities that a shareholder has in respect of a company in which he has invested. This is called “active ownership”. Engagement can take the form of informal conversations, often called “soft engagement”, standardised dialogues, or the use of formal channels by way of voting at annual general meetings. Which specific form of engagement is most likely to lead to success depends on the particular situation. If soft engagement and mere dialogue do not bear fruit, investors still have the option of having a public effect on the company by exercising their voting rights and speaking at the annual general meeting.
As one of Austria’s leading asset managers, Raiffeisen Kapitalanlage GmbH (Raiffeisen KAG) is conscious of its fiduciary responsibility to its customers. As part of this, it actively engages with companies in order to best preserve its customers’ interests. Engagement can serve different purposes: on the one hand, it is used for a more careful assessment of companies’ financial situation and development. This provides a look behind the scenes, so to speak. On the other hand, in conjunction with a proactive approach, engagement on ESG* issues helps companies move towards improvement in corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability. For the company and ultimately for the owners as well, this improvement should lead to “sustainable” benefits, which are reflected over the long term in better

In such cases, Raiffeisen KAG takes a thematic approach to several companies from the same sector so as to be able to compare the engagement results.
engagement process, in the course of which we work together with other ESG-minded investors and broadly address a certain thematic area of focus. Generally, the relevant topics are defined by the PRI and its initiatives for collaborative engagement. In this process, a company can function as the “Lead Investor” or as a “Supporting Investor”. Lead Investors prepare the corporate dialogue in detail and arrange contacts with companies; Supporting Investors are integrated into the dialogue and also support the process with content to some extent.
The results of engagement in various different topics are published regularly in our information magazine SUSTAINABLE INVESTMENT.
Principle Adverse Impacts
The European Union’s Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) requires Raiffeisen KAG to engage with companies where negative sustainability factors (“principle adverse impacts”, or “PAIs”) have been identified. This engagement with companies where
negative sustainability effects have been identified is done in several stages: by taking an active part in the annual general meeting, engaging collaboratively via platforms, or contacting the company directly. In each case, the relevant PAIs are tackled head on.
