The ‘Living Wage’ ShareAction ‘JustPay!’ campaign Embed Living Wage standards in the UK's private sector, beginning with the biggest companies on the London Stock Exchange "We've found that paying the Living Wage is a smart business move as increasing wages has reduced staff turnover and absenteeism, whilst productivity and professionalism have subsequently increased.“ - Guy Stallard - Director of Facilities, KPMG Europe “It makes the business easier to run. Our rota has become easier, it's easier to recruit, our staff aren't as tired because some of them haven't had to look for second or third jobs, they work harder, they are more enthusiastic..."

We also recognise that applying these Principles may better align investors with broader objectives of society.” 45 Responsible Investment Principle 2 - We will be active owners and incorporate ESG issues into our ownership policies and practices.
