The Living Wage Foundation and ShareAction have designed this toolkit to help investors in UK markets understand how and why to encourage their portfolio companies to adopt the real Living Wage. The toolkit covers what the real Living Wage is, the business case, industry specific challenges and opportunities and engagement tips for investors.

These included reputational effects, a greater ability to recruit and retain workers, lower absenteeism and higher productivity.
