Highlights from the 2023 Proxy Season

Join us for our annual webcast, held in partnership with Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, on the highlights from this year’s proxy season.

This year, companies have received more shareholder proposals than ever before, with a 5% increase in 2023 from 2022 (including a 39% increase in filings from anti-ESG proponents). At the same time, support for shareholder proposals has dropped across every category.

Our panelists Francesca Odell and Lillian Tsu, Partners at Cleary Gottlieb, will discuss::

  • Trends in shareholder proposals, say-on-pay proposals, and director elections.
  • Changes in asset managers’ policies, engagement, and voting
  • Best practices in dealing with anti-ESG proponents and proposals
  • What’s behind the decline in key E and S proposals
  • Which ESG proposals to watch for next year

Who should attend: Current and prospective board members of public and private companies; CEOs and other C-suite executives; general counsel; corporate secretaries; corporate attorneys; investors; and IR, sustainability, citizenship, human capital, communications, and corporate governance professionals.
