rezonanz Triumphs at Stewardship Summit Pitch Competition in London

On Tuesday, December 3rd, we hosted a webinar to delve into the methodology behind Voting for Sustainability and share more about our rezonanz offering. It was a pleasure to welcome a diverse audience of asset managers, pension funds, and responsible investment organizations.

To kick off the session, we posed two key questions to the audience:
-Should we disclose all asset managers' ranks in future iterations of Voting for Sustainability?
-Should we disclose all pension funds' ranks in future iterations?


The response was a resounding yes for both questions. While the consensus was clear, the reasoning behind it was varied—offering valuable insights into the priorities and expectations of our participants. A detailed breakdown of the results is provided below.

We are thrilled to announce that rezonanz has won our very firstpitch competition at the Stewardship Summit 2024 in London! 🎉 Sharing this achievement with the impressive team from Zerolytics, we are more motivated than ever to continue innovating in the realm ofstewardship software and advanced analytics for asset owners and managers.
