Asia Research & Engagement (ARE)

About Us
Working for over 10 years as a catalyst for corporate change, Asia Research & Engagement (ARE) brings leading investors into dialogue with Asian-listed companies to address sustainable development challenges and help companies align with investor priorities. Operating in Asia, for Asia, we maintain offices in Singapore and China, with a growing presence in India and Japan, strategically positioning ourselves at the heart of the region's economic dynamism.

Our pioneering approach addresses sustainable development challenges by facilitating results-driven dialogue between leading investors and Asian-listed companies. With a seasoned cross-cultural team attuned to the region's distinct needs, we articulate the case for sustainability through a robust investor network, engagement expertise, and high-quality, independent research. Employing tools such as direct engagement, investor group calls, independent research, AGM attendance, and voting analysis, we create trusted spaces for strategic discussions, supporting companies in navigating their sustainability journey.

We run collaborative engagement programs on energy and protein transition across Asia, leveraging the power of investor coalitions/collectives to strategically address sustainability issues and utilise dialogue and shareholder escalation tools to influence senior decision-makers in finance and industry.
