Engagement Reporting

Dialogue is a process. The following overview shows SVVK-ASIR's ongoing engagement dialogues as at 31 December, as well as dialogues successfully completed and exclusion recommendations issued during the reporting year.

Every engagement dialogue is driven by a specific concern. The following overview illustrates the thematic diversity of SVVK-ASIR's ongoing engagements as at 31 December.

The following overview shows SVVK-ASIR's exclusion recommendations that were in force as at 31 December, as well as the reasons for their inclusion on the exclusion list.

Companies can violate the normative basis both through their products and through their conduct. In the first case, SVVK-ASIR recommends the exclusion of producers of certain controversial weapons (Controversial Weapons Policy ). In the event of conduct-based violations, SVVK-ASIR seeks to enter into a targeted dialogue with the company concerned in order to bring about a change in conduct. Should the dialogue prove unsuccessful, this may lead to a recommendation for exclusion (Engagement and Exclusion Policy ). Exclusion recommendations in the climate context (Deny Debt) apply exclusively to debt instruments and take effect upon publication.

SVVK-ASIR also recommends that its members exclude sovereign debt issued by countries against which Switzerland has imposed a comprehensive embargo on military or repression goods due to violations of international law, in particular human rights.
