Governance
Good governance is the pillar upon which long-term corporate success is built. Including ESG factors
as a principle of good governance helps boards of directors not just to set strategy, but to align
corporate culture with values.
Effective governance will be an overarching theme in our 2020 engagements. Our Feedback on Proxy
program is designed to reach out to corporate boards, explaining our voting rationale and providing
detailed feedback on governance concerns. We will address such topics as:
- Board diversity
- Board and director independence
- Linking equitable compensation to ESG outcomes
- Effective oversight of key ESG issues
