Responsible Investment
To fulfill the spirit of the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), Nan Shan Life has, since 2015, gradually integrated ESG considerations into its investment decision-making processes. Nan Shan Life has incorporated the principles of responsible investment into its “Comprehensive Investment Policy,” establishing a solid foundation for the compliance and practical implementation of responsible investment.
Three Major Responsible Investment Mechanisms
Engagement Activities
The Company initiates engagement activities primarily through ad hoc in-person visits, teleconferences, and participation in shareholders’ meetings. In addition, proposals are analyzed on a case-by-case basis during shareholders’ meetings to facilitate the exchange of views with investee companies. Upon gaining deeper insight into the investee companies’ ESG policy direction and content, the Company proactively raises concerns regarding environmental, social, corporate governance, and shareholder rights issues, and provides appropriate ESG improvement suggestions. When it is determined that an investee company has room for improvement in areas such as environmental protection, social responsibility, and corporate governance, the Company actively engages with the investee, offering constructive feedback in the hope of eliciting a positive response or concrete actions that contribute to a virtuous cycle of improvement.
Commitment to Shareholder Activism
Nan Shan Life adheres to the Stewardship Principles for Institutional Investors by actively exercising its voting rights, participating the shareholders’ meeting, and engaging with the investee company for various ESG topics. The Company also discloses the progress and outcome of each engagement event annually, thereby upholding the principles of shareholder activism.
