In addition to the Responsible Investment Benchmark 2020 for pension funds, <a href=\"https:\/\/vbdo.nl\/en\/2020\/08\/orderreport\/\">published on 26th of October<\/a>, VBDO conducted a thematic study among the 50 largest pension funds. The study gave us more insight into the voting policy of Dutch pension funds and the market for voting advice and implementation.<\/p>\n<p>During the webinar, with an asset manager and a pension fund, we delved deeper into the results of the study, the dilemmas the parties mentioned encounter as well as having had a dialogue about what pension funds can do in order to get the most value from their active shareholding.<\/p>\n<h2>Program<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Please note: the main language of this event is Dutch<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>09.15 &#8211; Digitale opening en polling<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>09.20 &#8211; Welcome <\/strong>| Angelique Laskewitz<\/li>\n<li><strong>09.25 &#8211; VBDO research results<\/strong> \u00a0| Mart van Kuijk &amp; Xander Urbach, Project managers VBDO<\/li>\n<li><strong>09:40 &#8211; Achmea Investment Management<\/strong> | Annette van der Krogt, Hoofd Verantwoord Beleggen (onder voorbehoud)<\/li>\n<li><strong>09:55 &#8211; <\/strong><strong>PME<\/strong> | Daan Spaargaren, Strateeg Verantwoord Beleggen bij PME Pensioenfonds<\/li>\n<li><strong>10:10 &#8211; Panel discussion<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>10:30 &#8211; Closure<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Study<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p>Also read (a summary of) the full report <a href=\"https:\/\/vbdo.nl\/en\/2020\/11\/stemmen-voor-duurzaamheid-door-pensioenfondsen-gezien-als-belangrijk-middel-ondanks-beperkte-toepassing\/\">Proxy Voting &amp; Sustainablility &#8211; Research among Dutch pension funds<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How is sustainability reflected in the voting policy of pension funds, how do they vote and who makes choices?
