2025 Proxy Season Preview

2024 saw another record year for shareholder proposals, with more than 1,000 proposals filed last proxy season (TCB Benchmarking, powered by ESGAUGE, 2025). With the 2025 proxy season around the corner, companies are preparing for proposals on emerging topics in an even more politicized environment. Paired with evolving disclosure requirements and increased scrutiny of ESG, companies will need to be diligent in their approach.

Please join us for a discussion on:

  • Early predictions for emerging themes this proxy season
  • Expectations for the impact of the new administration
  • Trends in environmental and social proposals
  • Navigating HCM and DEI proposals amidst increased scrutiny
  • Director pay and golden parachute proposals
  • Policy changes at proxy advisory firms

Who should attend:
Current and prospective board members; CEOs, general counsel, corporate secretaries, and other C-suite executives; corporate attorneys; investors; IR, corporate governance, and other corporate practitioners.

Don’t miss the chance to hear from our panel and participate in Q&A!
