FRC UK Stewardship Code

Commenting on Hymans Robertson being announced as signatory to the FRC’s UK Stewardship Code, Chris O’Bryen, Stewardship Lead and Investment Associate Consultant, Hymans Robertson says:

“We’re proud to be recognised, once again, as a signatory to the UK Stewardship Code (Code). This demonstrates that our stewardship efforts meet the principles embedded in the Code and our continued support for our clients to create better outcomes. Our 2024 stewardship report highlighted our refreshed Responsible Investment Mission Statement, our focus on developing climate transition action plans and our proactive engagement with asset managers to drive accountability. Maintaining a focus on actions that can create real world change remains integral to our work.

“The changes to the Stewardship Code that take effect in 2026 are expected to make the reporting process simpler and will hopefully allow more stakeholders to demonstrate their commitments to being better stewards. However, these changes come at a time when sustainability-related risks are continuing to evolve, and the investment industry faces ever increasing scrutiny. This will require those working to deliver a more sustainable future need to remain steadfast in their efforts and we remain committed to helping investors create better financial outcomes and supporting them in driving change.”
