# Climate Change and Shareholder Engagement

Nearly all companies have exposure to climate change; we must commit to zero the carbon emission at the highest level. Shareholder engagement had never been more crucial on climate change that now, taking ownership of the decision-making of climate change adaption will improve long-term sustainability and stakeholder buy-in of climate change adaption interventions. At The Nest Summit, **Bruce Duguid,** Head of Stewardship, **Federated Hermes**, and **Mark Sherlock, **CFA, FCA, Head of US Equities, Lead Portfolio Manager, **Federated Hermes**, explain the importance of investment and engagement rather than divesting, how significant climate change is for stewardship, and some notable companies are working towards zero carbon emission
