Benchmark Your Votes

How aligned is your voting record with sustainability leadership?

Our Voting for Sustainability Benchmarking provides asset owners and managers with first-of-its-kind insight into how their proxy voting records compare with peers by focusing on a selection of sustainability-relevant management and shareholder proposals defined by an independent, expert-consensus benchmark.

If you're interested in participating in the 2025 benchmarking launching in October 2025, please enter your e-mail below and we will reach out directly.

What do participants get?

Simply by uploading your Q1 & Q2 voting records to our platform by July 31st, you'll be ranked alongside 100s of other investors and receive a custom scorecard in October 2025 when our ranking launches.

Nothing is required to register if you simply want to view the top five results. However, by sharing your 2024 proxy voting records, you’ll gain access to a personalized scorecard, detailed peer comparisons, and the full benchmarking results.

Registered asset owners also receive free access to the ranking results of five additional asset managers of their choice — regardless of whether they choose to submit their own voting records.

What do I get in return?

Participants receive a confidential report showing:
✦ Your voting alignment with expert-defined sustainability positions
✦ How your record compares to up to 5 peer investors
✦ Category-level scores (climate, social, lobbying, etc.)
✦ Actionable insights to support internal reviews or public disclosures

03

Is it really free?

Yes. Participation is entirely free and results are confidential. We’re convinced that voting is a fundamental pillar of stewardship and that our approach successfully truly captures investors' underlying sustainability alignment. If, like past pilot participants, you find value in the results, and the new perspectives we're unlocking, you are invited to become a rezonanz client by becoming a member or ordering a Custom Benchmarking Report.

04

Who sees my data?

Only you. All benchmarking results are shared confidentially directly with participating investors. No individual scores or names are made public (unless you opt in). Aggregated trends may be shared anonymously for research and reporting purposes.

05

What’s behind the benchmark?

We use Bayesian Item Response Theory—a technique adapted from political science—to evaluate how difficult and meaningful each vote is. Rather than simply counting "for/against" votes, the methodology focuses on how differentiating each voting choice is.

06

Why should I benchmark my voting?

Because voting is a core part of stewardship—and it’s measurable.
