We have been a loyal visitor to general shareholders’ meetings (AGMs) for more than a quarter of a century. Every year, we ask critical questions to the directors of around 40 Dutch, listed companies, in order to promote sustainable business operations. We publish our findings in the annual AGM engagement report.

AVA sustainability themes 2021
We ask our questions on the basis of a number of themes. Every year we change one theme so that we stay up to date and gain insight into the performance of companies within a theme over several years. In 2021, VBDO will ask questions about climate adaptation, working conditions in the chain and diversity.
