Collaboration in raising Stewardship standards


All 11 SVVK-ASIR Members Join rezonanz to Align Stewardship with Sustainability

Zürich, Switzerland — rezonanz, a provider of stewardship data and quantitative analytics for

responsible investment, today announced that the Swiss Association for Responsible

Investments (SVVK-ASIR) and all 11 of its member pension and social security funds have

adopted its platform and benchmarking services to strengthen proxy voting oversight and

stewardship alignment.

This collaboration marks a significant step forward in institutional stewardship, empowering

Switzerland’s largest asset owners—PUBLICA, compenswiss, Suva, the pension funds of SBB

and Swiss Post, BVK, comPlan, Mobiliar, the Migros pension fund, BLPK, and Asga—to better

align their voting behavior with sustainability goals and engage more effectively with delegated

asset managers on proxy voting practices.

“rezonanz’s offering is simple yet unique, giving our members insight into both their own

and their asset managers’ proxy voting behavior,” said Tamara Hardegger, Managing

Director of SVVK-ASIR. “Often, there’s no clear right or wrong on an individual AGM

agenda item—context and engagement matter. What we’re really interested in are the

broader patterns: where there may be fundamental misalignments in voting policies,

especially in relation to systemic risks. rezonanz helps us shed light on this and take

another step forward in our stewardship approach.”

Whether decisions are made in-house or delegated externally, proxy voting remains one of the

most powerful yet underused levers for advancing sustainability. The ability to detect meaningful

patterns across thousands of votes is exactly where rezonanz’s benchmarking adds value:

transforming fragmented data into clear comparisons that empower asset owners to evaluate

alignment, engage managers, and drive accountability.

“In spite of its centrality to responsible investment, stewardship—and proxy voting in

particular—has long lacked credible benchmarking,” said Eleanor Willi, CEO & Co-

Founder of rezonanz. “Our approach changes that, enabling asset owners to compare

themselves and their managers against peers to identify who is truly advancing

corporate responsibility through their votes. 2025 is indeed the year of the asset owner.

This milestone shows not only how far stewardship has advanced in sophistication, but

also how enduring large asset owners’ commitment to responsible investment remains.”

With the addition of SVVK’s members, registered rezonanz users now collectively manage over

$7.4 trillion in assets—underscoring the platform’s role as a trusted data and analytics provider

for some of the world’s most influential asset owners and asset managers. rezonanz’s data and

analytics currently cover the publicly- and privately-disclosed voting records of over 160 asset

managers and asset owners at more than 20,000 company meetings each year, with coverage

expanding to over 500 by Q3 2025.

About SVVK-ASIR The Swiss Association for Responsible Investments (SVVK-ASIR) is an

alliance of major Swiss pension and social security funds. SVVK-ASIR was founded in

December 2015 by a group of seven major institutional investors, including five major pension

funds, compenswiss (first pillar) and the Swiss National Accident Insurance Fund SUVA. Today,

the association has 11 members who are actively involved in the association’s activities. In

addition to the time and financial commitment of each institution, the mutual exchange of

knowledge on the topic of sustainability is also a valuable aspect of our work.
