At Northern Trust Asset Management, our commitment to strong and effective stewardship to safeguard client capital and drive long-term investment performance remains paramount.
In 2024, we continued to invest in our resources, systems, and approach to further strengthen our capabilities. We also made meaningful progress on our stewardship plan, with a strong focus on priority areas such as climate change, biodiversity, and human capital. These remain central to our approach, and we will continue engaging on these critical topics throughout 2025—driving impactful outcomes and supporting long-term value creation.
Explore how we enhanced our approach and engaged with companies to promote more sustainable business practices in 2024.
