14.3. Additional information.[OPTIONAL]

Storebrand engages extensively with corporates irrespective of holding a bond or an equity. Please see detailed descriptions in the Active Ownership section.

In 2019 Storebrand further developed its International voting policy through proxy provider ISS. We voted at 150+ company Annual General Meetings in 2019 on a range of Governance and ESG issues. This voting is relevant for bonds also as Storebrand Asset Management is often exposed to the same company through both bonds and equities. Storebrand utilises its own voting policy when providing instructions to ISS on how to vote. The 150 AGM's where we have voted have been selected on the basis of targeted ESG related issues, such as Climate Risk management and implementation of TCFD guidelines.

15.6. Additional information.[OPTIONAL]

Proactive engagement: Specific themes are targeted for engagement that can cross sector/industry boundaries. For example engagement on climate reporting and scenario planning. The most common form of engagement here is through PRI Clearing House. See further information in the Active Ownership section.

Reactive engagement: Engagement can be initiated as a result of a specific controversy regarding Human Rights, Environmental issues or Corruption. Monthly screening means that there is a continual stream of potential cases to be prioritised.

Engagement outcomes are logged in internal systems on a scale from 1-4 where 4 represents documented change in company policy and /or practice.

Results from engagements are posted on the company homepage, as is an explanation of our engagement methodology and overarching goals.

Voting strategies and prioritised themes are also made available on the company website and outcomes are updated reguarly.

FI 16. Engagement policy disclosure

16.1. Indicate if your publicly available policy documents explicitly refer to fixed income engagement separately from engagements in relation to other asset classes.

16.3. Additional information [OPTIONAL]

Our engagement is independent of asset class. In Storebrand's opinion ESG risks are just as relevant for Fixed Income positions as for Equities holdings. Adjustments are naturally made for how material ESG issues are in relation to the duration of investments.
