Supplementary notes

The source adds further comments: "Due to European diversity, the wide definition of responsible investment is any type of investment process that combines investors’ financial objectives with their concerns about Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues. Engagement and voting strategy includes active ownership through voting of shares and engagement with companies on ESG matters. This is a long-term process, seeking to influence behavior."
