Proxy Voting

The Fund adheres to sustainable investment proxy voting guidelines in partnership with leading global provider ISS. OIM’s sustainable voting policy generally references globally recognized sustainability-related initiatives such as the Principles for Responsible Investment, UN Global Compact, the protection of human rights, and gender diversity on boards, among other objectives. They advance positive corporate ESG actions which promote practices that mitigate financial and reputational risk.

Engagement

OIM is committed to a tangible impact in a real-world setting and is cognizant that in the climate related arena in particular, divestment alone does not reduce real world carbon emissions. Therefore, OIM resorts to engagement in a structured dialogue with a given company and attempts to influence the way it conducts its business.

OIM believes that direct and collaborative engagement can drive change in the way companies conduct their business activities which leads to tangible improvements. We engage with companies via our partner, Hermes EOS.
