The A4S Essential Guide to Enhancing Investor Engagement

A4S and its CFO Leadership Network have produced this practical guide for investor relations teams on communicating effectively with investors about sustainability.

As we start to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, the impact of social and environmental issues on the global economy have never been clearer. For businesses around the world, there has never been a greater focus on sustainability. Over recent years the degree to which sustainability is integrated into investment decision making and interactions between companies and their investors has increased significantly. There is, however, more to do to make engagement as effective as possible.

The A4S Essential Guide to Enhancing Investor Engagement is a practical guide written by investor relations (IR) teams for investor relations teams, with contributions from CFOs, IR Directors and investors. The guidance has been developed based on the practical experience of CFOs and IR teams from across the A4S CFO Leadership Network, insights from investors and other experts. It also includes insights from the A4S survey run in partnership with the IR Society.
