Matthews Asia supports the work of the CDP in improving corporate disclosure and is an investor member. In 2019, Matthews Asia engaged with portfolio holdings through the CDP's Non-Disclosure Campaign. We signed onto 30 letters (and were a lead investor on one company) which asked them to disclose more information related to environmental risk around climate change, deforestation, and water. Engagement was relatively successful as eleven of the thirty companies that we sent letters to submitted questionnaires to the CDP. Six of those eleven were specifically targeted to answer these questionnaires in 2019.
