Responsible Investment Policy Henderson's Responsible Investment Policy sets out our approach to ESG issues, including proxy voting policy, for our Investment Management business, which includes all our equities and fixed income teams. We believe that in order to achieve long-term success, companies need not only to conceive and execute appropriate business strategies, but also to maintain high standards of corporate governance and corporate responsibility. We therefore expect companies to operate according to recognised national and international standards in these areas.
