The GES engagement model follows a systematic and structured process. The quarterly GES report to the Fund provides full transparency of engagements and progress. The Fund will report this through the quarterly RI reports. The Fund's investment manager's are expected to provide outcomes to engagement which maybe reported via GES but often by the manager individually. They, like GES, provide an RI report to the Fund which is used to discuss cases and detail progress. GES also provide a dedicated engagement progress report on an annual basis. This is a table of target companies with information on the previous years engagement and the state of progress.

The fund is careful to lend its voice to collaborative work that is structured and that offers clear objectives.

It is typical for the collaborative work to be done over an extended period of time with outcomes requiring patience and flexibility.

The Fund either directly or through GES will monitor and report outcomes.

For LAPFF-initiated engagements, progress is monitored by the service provider and progress reports are provided to members in the form of the Quarterly Engagement Report. Before each engagement meeting LAPFF sets out two or three objectives, then following the meeting an indication is provided of whether these objectives were achieved and if so how. An assessment is provided of progress, ranging from ‘no progress’ to ’substantial improvement’.

For other collaborative engagements, LAPFF will monitor companies for progress where LAPFF has a direct engagement interest or ongoing relationship with that company. For companies where LAPFF does not have a direct relationship, we allow other collaborators to evaluate company progress and report back.

The Fund will require the service providers (investment managers) to support its engagement work in themes, sectors and companies identified by the engagement overlay provider. In that case the issues, objectives and the selection of the companies will provided to the service provider. Ther service providers are also expected to carry out engagements and other RI work on their own inititative.

SPF devotes significant resource to responsible investment activity. This includes: internal resource and expertise; dedicated resource within the Fund’s external investment managers; retention of Global Engagement Services (GES)

As a LAPFF member, we have an opportunity to suggest topics or companies for engagement. The Executive Committee makes the decision on whether or not to go forward with an engagement suggested by a LAPFF member. LAPFF’s progress is actively monitored and reviewed at each quarterly Business Meeting. In addition, the Executive Committee assesses the performance of LAPFF’s primary service provider annually.

As an organisation with a member on the LAPFF Executive Committee, our fund is able to participate directly in engagement meetings with companies.

The investment managers are partners in the GES lead collaborative engagement and have full access to the GES research and engagement outcomes. The managers are kept informed of engagement work carried out directly by GES and are expected to monitor the quarterly Fund RI reports to understand the full picture.

Officers of the Fund and GES meet with each investment manager semi annually to discuss portfolio monitoring of global compact norm breaches, engagements, voting and ESG integration in the investment process.

The investment managers provide full and detailed quarterly reports of the engagement work undertaken with the Fund's portfolio companies. The engagements are then reported through the Funds RI reporting. The GES engagement model follows a systematic and structured process. GES also provide a dedicated engagement progress report on a quarterly basis. The GES annual engagement progress report provides a table of target companies with information on the previous years engagement and the state of progress. Officers report in detail all their engagement work through the Fund's quarterly RI reports.

LAPFF tracks the number of companies that it engages with directly and reports this quarterly as well as annually. All incoming and outgoing correspondence as well as all meetings and phone calls with companies are saved and recorded, allowing LAPFF to  provide accurate and comparable statistics on number and type of engagements year on year.

For collaborative engagements, LAPFF endeavors to track how many companies it reaches. However, the number of companies where the number of companies contacted numbers into the hundreds in a collaborative engagement is not systematically tracked.
