The 2024 proxy season is shaping up to have a “scattershot” feel to it. Companies are receiving a high volume of shareholder proposals, often on new topics or with new approaches to long-standing concerns. Some proposals seem to offer a solution in search of a problem. At the same time, committee chairs seem to be taking turns in the hot seat: in 2023, Nominating & Governance Committee chairs received an average of under 90% support; will it be Compensation Committee chairs this year?
While there may be a randomness to this proxy season, companies need to have a clear, coherent, and consistent approach —especially when their every word is scrutinized in this highly polarized environment.
