2023 Proxy Season Preview

The 2023 proxy season promises to be even more challenging than 2022. Look for more shareholder proposals, higher opposition to directors, lower say-on-pay votes, and increased “Big A” activism. And toss in economic uncertainty and ESG backlash.

The good news is that investors are truly open to hear companies’ side of the story because they, too, are trying to navigate many of the same challenges. Join us for a discussion on:

Key developments:

  • Investor expectations
  • Universal Proxy
  • ESG backlash
  • SEC shareholder proposal guidance; proxy advisory firm policy updates

Voting trends:

  • Environmental proposals
  • Social and political proposals
  • Human Capital proposals
  • Director elections and board diversity
  • Executive compensation

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.
