2024 Proxy Season Preview: Looking for a Silver Lining

/ Report

In partnership with:

There may be a silver lining to the 2024 proxy season: companies are receiving a seemingly random assortment of shareholder proposals with unfamiliar—and sometimes conflicting—approaches to the same issue. At the same time, companies and major institutional investors are interested in finding common ground as they navigate ardent pro- and anti-environmental, social and governance (ESG) pressures. If investors and companies can tune out the noise, this proxy season could spark a new era of constructive dialogue on meaningful shareholder proposals that can generate long-term value.
