rezonanz is excited to announce our membership in the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC). The IIGCC's mission focuses on bringing the investment community together to make significant progress towards a net zero and climate resilient future by 2030.

rezonanz has been awarded an Innocheque grant from the Swiss Innovation Agency Innosuisse to develop an advanced stewardship benchmarking framework in partnership with Dr. Dominik Boos of ZHAW. This framework will expand rezonanz’s existing Voting for Sustainability methodology by incorporating both proxy voting and engagement activities, providing asset managers and institutional investors with a pioneering, data-driven solution to assess and improve stewardship practices.

rezonanz is proud to unveil the "Voting for Sustainability" Ranking, a new tool designed to evaluate the alignment of asset managers' proxy voting with sustainability goals. Developed with the Investor Impact Initiative and ZHAW Center for Global Competitiveness, this ranking provides a deep dive into the proxy voting practices of key Swiss asset managers, highlighting nearly 700 significant votes from 2023. Our approach emphasizes the importance of transparent and active engagement in shaping corporate sustainability, aiming to foster a more responsible investment landscape. As the 2024 AGM season approaches, we invite asset managers to explore how integrating sustainability into their voting strategies can drive long-term value creation.

Our innovative approach to measuring how asset managers align with sustainability goals has been featured in leading publications, showcasing the influence and effectiveness of our methodology.
