Stewardship & Voting Guidelines 2025 (PLSA)

On January, 23, 2025, the Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA) published the 2025 edition of its Stewardship & Voting Guidelines (2025 Guidelines).

In the 2025 Guidelines the PLSA considers, among other things: recent political and economic events with a direct impact on stewardship issues, the impact on shareholder rights of changes to the UK listing rules and AI developments, sustainable finance developments (including the PLSA’s efforts to increase focus on considering nature as part of good company practice), social factor developments (including the PLSA’s social factor case studies), and workforce developments (including issues such as maternity/paternity pay and leave policies and ethnicity and disability pay reporting).

The 2025 Guidelines are available on the member area of the PLSA website.
