Liontrust Sustainable Funds voted on various proposals at annual general meetings for several companies, including GB Group Plc, Halma Plc, Pennon Group Plc, National Grid Plc, and Syncona Ltd, between July 1, 2019, and September 30, 2019. The votes were mostly against the management's recommendations, with some exceptions where they voted for or abstained. Key votes included:

- GB Group Plc: Voted for all proposals, including re-electing directors and authorizing the issue of equity.
- Halma Plc: Voted for all proposals, including re-electing directors and authorizing the issue of equity, but voted against the remuneration report.
- Pennon Group Plc: Voted for most proposals, including re-electing directors, but voted against resolution 3 due to excessive vesting levels.
- National Grid Plc: Voted for most proposals, including re-electing directors and authorizing the issue of equity, but voted against resolution 3 due to excessive vesting levels.
- Syncona Ltd: Voted for most proposals, including re-electing directors, but abstained on one resolution due to concerns about gender balance on the board.

The fund generally supported proposals related to financial statements, dividends, and auditor appointments, but was more critical of remuneration reports and equity issuance without pre-emptive rights.
