This panel will bring together IIGCC’s work on sectors under CA100+ and NZEI to consider how investors can effectively engage across and between sectors. It will dive into how IIGCC research can provide more sector specificity in transition plan analysis. It will also cover how investors can effectively engage on systemic barriers affecting entire sectors, including how to approach real economy policy, and why taking a cross-sector value chain approach to engagement is important.

Proxy season represents the annual crescendo of investors’ engagement activities. In this panel, investors will discuss their approach to net zero voting and supporting engagement through the proxy season, drawing on the net zero voting paper, and their priorities for the 2024 proxy season, including through CA100+ and NZEI.
