Responsible Investment Update 1 of 51
1 July 2014 – 31 December 2014
Responsible Investment Update
Set out below is a summary of some of the key ESG activities that UniSuper undertook over the second half of 2014.
Active ownership
UniSuper is committed to being an active shareholder and as such, we pro-actively engage with the companies we are invested in and exercise our proxy votes.
Voting results
As part of our commitment to being an active shareholder, UniSuper has exercised its proxy votes since 2004. In terms of how the Fund’s Australian proxy voting process operates:
UniSuper’s specialist proxy voting advisor provides ‘how to vote’ recommendations to UniSuper and UniSuper’s fund managers.
All Australian fund managers appointed by UniSuper must vote ‘FOR’ or ‘AGAINST’ and are not to ‘ABSTAIN’ unless there is a conflict of interest.
Appointed managers typically have the discretion to determine how they vote the stocks within their portfolios. However, UniSuper retains the right to specifically instruct its fund managers how to vote (a power which is regularly exercised).
Voting recommendations are considered internally and assessed on a case by case basis. The voting advice is used as an information source only. Based on this internal review (and often after discussions with peers and our fund managers) UniSuper determines how it will vote on its own internally managed portfolios and may also instruct managers to vote in a particular manner.
Australia
Over the second half of 2014, UniSuper voted on 1169 corporate governance resolutions put forward by companies listed on the ASX. A summary of results is set out below:
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE RELATED RESOLUTIONS
NUMBER %
Voted FOR 1009 86
Voted AGAINST 93 8
Voted ABSTAIN 12 1
Vote COMBINED* 55 5
* Refer to page 2 for an explanation
UniSuper voted AGAINST a variety of matters which included:
The grant of performance rights;
Remuneration reports;
Other remuneration related matters including termination payments;
Board spills; and
Director appointments. Of the remuneration reports that UniSuper voted on, we voted AGAINST 9% of them (this is consistent with the first half of the calendar year where we voted AGAINST 8% of the remuneration reports put to us). The companies where UniSuper voted AGAINST the remuneration reports are listed below:
Ansell
Cash Converters
Dexus Property Group
Donaco International
Drillsearch Energy
Flexigroup
Goodman Group
Greencross
GUD Holdings
Harvey Norman Holdings
Mayne Pharma Group
Monash IVF Group
Myer Holdings
Newcrest Mining
News Corporation
RCR Tomlinson
Select Harvests
Village Roadshow
Responsible Investment Update 2 of 4
There were also three other remuneration reports where there was a combined vote and where the majority of shares were voted AGAINST the remuneration report:
AGL
Cabcharge
Starpharma The most frequent FOR votes lodged by UniSuper pertained to director reappointments and remuneration related matters. Of the resolutions arising, the key issues voted on were as follows: 46% related to director elections, 20% to remuneration related issues, and 9% to remuneration reports. These figures are fairly consistent with the breakdown over the first half of 2014 (37%, 20% and 12% respectively). The chart below provides a more detailed break-down of the issues arising, and the table at Appendix 1 itemises all resolutions voted on at ASX listed company meetings over the second half of 2014.
Voting breakdown:
Of the 1169 resolutions voted on, there were 55 instances in which a stock was held by multiple fund managers and where some managers supported the resolution while others did not resulting in a ‘combined’ vote. Of these 55 combined votes, in 40 of those cases, the prevailing vote was FOR the resolution being voted on. In instances in which there are different views and UniSuper has a strong position on the matter, UniSuper will instruct its managers to vote in a specific way. However, there are instances in which mangers may have differing though equally valid views and UniSuper does not have a strong view on the issue at hand. In these instances, the fund managers may vote as they wish, resulting in a combined vote.
International
UniSuper exercises its proxy voting rights regarding shares held in international share markets on an on-going basis throughout the year. Given the number of international fund managers voting stock on UniSuper’s behalf and the different systems used, we disclose how we voted on resolutions put forward by our 20 largest international holdings. Over the second half of 2014, UniSuper voted on 17 corporate governance resolutions put forward by our 20 largest international holdings. Note that there were few Annual General Meetings held internationally over the second half of the year. A summary of results is set out below:
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE RELATED RESOLUTIONS
NUMBER %
Voted FOR 11 65
Voted AGAINST 6 35
Voted ABSTAIN 0 0
The table at Appendix 2 provides greater detail regarding specific resolutions. Note that the second half of the calendar year is a period during which few international companies hold their Annual General Meetings (hence there are few resolutions voted on). We are happy to provide information on how we voted at other companies should members so request.
Engagement
Corporate engagement
One of the positive consequences of managing funds in-house, is that UniSuper has had increasing levels of corporate access and routinely holds meetings with the companies in which our members’ money is invested. Over the second half of 2014, UniSuper continued to have high levels of dialogue with investee companies. A diverse range of issues are discussed at these meetings, ranging from corporate strategy, company performance and broader commercial issues through to relevant ESG matters as they pertain to the companies with which we are meeting. Some of the ESG issues engaged on over this period included:
Board succession planning;
Executive remuneration;
Climate change risk management and stranded assets;
Director appointments
Remuneration reports
Termination payments
Other remunerationissues
Board spill
Company constitution
Other (e.g. capitalstructure, auditorappointments)
Responsible Investment Update 3 of 4
Occupational health and safety;
ESG risk management; and
Director appointments.
These meetings are important to us as investors as they provide an insight not only into the issues being discussed, but more broadly as to the overall capability of management and the Board. In addition to various meetings with investee companies, UniSuper also sought to communicate directly with companies where we were voting AGAINST resolutions being put to shareholders at the AGM. The primary reason being, to communicate our concerns and outline why we were voting AGAINST particular resolutions. This improves the effectiveness of our engagement significantly.
Member engagement In the last five years we have seen our members take an ever increasing interest in ESG and how UniSuper manages ESG risk in its investment process. Related to this, we receive high volumes of member correspondence on a wide range of ESG issues and this continued over the second half of 2014. We respond to each individual member query and seek to be transparent in doing so.
Meetings and conferences
Through-out the year a range of meetings and events are attended by UniSuper (and other institutional investors) to remain abreast of key ESG issues, share knowledge and work together where possible. Over the second half of 2014, this included UniSuper:
Attending various briefings on a range of ESG matters relating to coal seam gas, climate change, conflict minerals, human rights in the supply chain, global megatrends and executive remuneration.
Attending dedicated corporate sustainability and corporate governance briefings.
Attending the Responsible Investment Association of Australasia annual conference.
Attending a range of ESG related knowledge sharing forums convened by various fund managers including, a Schroders ESG Round Table, a Black Rock Investor Roundtable on Gender Equality and an AMP Governance Forum.
Convening meetings with the management of a number of our listed property investments to obtain a detailed briefing on their sustainability practices.
Convening meetings with some of our largest holdings, including Transurban, Sydney Airport
and Aurizon to obtain detailed briefings on their sustainability practices and associated performance.
Meeting with a number of our fund managers to discuss current ESG issues in the market place and understand how those fund managers address such issues and integrate ESG into their investment processes.
Other ESG activities
Over the second half of 2014, UniSuper was involved in a range of other ESG related activities, which are summarised below.
Continual assessment and review of the ESG practices of the companies in which UniSuper invests, this includes assigning a qualitative ESG rating to all companies in portfolios managed by UniSuper’s internal investment team.
Regular peer reviews and exchanges to share learnings and collaborate on ESG matters.
Purchasing NAB green bonds for inclusion in our sustainable balanced option. This augments the purchase of World Bank green bonds that occurred earlier in the year.
Implementing a restructure of our two sustainable options, to screen out alcohol, gaming, weapons and fossil fuel explorers and producers (in addition to the pre-existing tobacco screen).
Contributing to a number of investee company corporate responsibility stakeholder materiality assessments, including for Sydney Airport’s first sustainability report.
Conducting a number of presentations regarding ESG related matters, in a range of environments, including:
» A World Bank webinar on green bonds
» Presenting to the NTEU on ESG
» Participating in a governance panel at the Computershare Client Forum
» Participating in a Centre for Investor Education panel regarding active ownership
» Presenting to the Board of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia
