As the calls for transparency and accountability mount from retail investors, a platform is attempting to give such investors an insight into how corporates are achieving their targets for ESG issues and drive positive change.

The Engagement Appeal (TEA), a platform for inclusive retail investor relations, has now received endorsements from ShareAction, giving it the backing of one of the loudest voices in institutional engagement.

The platform has also received approval from FTSE 250 company Essentra and becomes the first corporate to formally back TEA. The business has established various policies to increase inclusiveness.

Catherine Howarth, chief executive at ShareAction said: “As an organisation committed to driving positive behaviour change in capital markets, ShareAction wants to see more and better interaction between investors and companies. We are delighted to support TEA as we share a common vision of greater inclusivity and dialogue between companies and their shareholders.”
