Corporate Governance
Investor perspectives
The economic downturn has amplified pressure for corporate performance that, when coupled with dynamic regulatory requirements and enhanced focus on corporate governance, is changing how companies and investors view shareholder engagement.
Companies are interacting with their owners in new and varied ways:
-
Written disclosures, particularly those relating to risk oversight and executive compensation, have changed dramatically.
-
Proxy voting, particularly the role and influence of proxy advisers, is a subject of intense debate.
-
More investors seek dialogue with directors and some directors reciprocate, believing that investor conversations offer perspectives unavailable elsewhere. The result is a movement to create a more robust role for board members to engage shareholders directly.
There is a broad spectrum of views on issues surrounding shareholder relations. To determine a way forward, Tapestry's corporate governance networks and initiatives have addressed the subject with directors, investors, and experts.
