Collaboration details

The French Sif (FIR) conducts every year a written questions campaign during general meeting of the CAC 40. This public exercise enables responsible investors to play their part by informing these major companies of the ESG issues that are important to such investors. 

You will find a resume of the 2023 report translated in english. The whole report, for which each question is summarised by an overview, is available in french.

For each question, the analysts read the companies' answers, rate them on their transparency and translate the trends of the topic into a written report. We are actually launching next 2024 campaign. Please feel free to contact us for any question. 

Objectives

- highlight the issues that are important to responsible investors for company management, shareholders and the general public;

- assess the degree of transparency of companies on specific points of their sustainable development strategy and compare the different levels of maturity

- obtain a satisfactory response rate, as companies are obliged to answer the written questions asked at their AGMs (according to french legislation)
