PRI Case Study der KfW zum Thema "Engaging with Issuers" veröffentlicht

As a signatory to the PRI, KfW – in its role as an institutional investor – is also an active member of the PRI “Fixed Income” workstream. The workstream serves as a forum of cooperation for fixed income investors that want to share their experiences and views on the different sustainable investment approaches and the respective challenges for fixed income investors. One format to exchange distinct views and methodologies is the regular publishing of case studies about responsible investment issues. KfW already wrote a case study about green bonds last year titled "Green Bonds: Measuring Impact“(PDF, 138 KB, non-accessible).

In February 2016, the PRI published KfW’s new case study "Engaging with Issuers"(PDF, 112 KB, non-accessible) .

The case study explains KfW’s so-called engagement approach with the bond issuers represented in its liquidity portfolio. Aside from describing the motivation for this engagement effort, the case study also analyses the different types of – mostly positive - issuer feedback.
