MORROW SODALI CELEBRATES 50 YEAR ANNIVERSARY BY “BUILDING TOGETHER”

New York, May 26, 2022 – Morrow Sodali, the global shareholder engagement and governance consulting firm, today announced the launch of “Building Together,” a global initiative that marks the firm’s 50th anniversary as industry leader and highlights its vision for maximizing value to clients in the face of transformative changes taking place in the capital markets. 

Adam Frederick, Morrow Sodali Global President, said, “Our motto ’Building Together’ carries two messages.  First, it embodies a commitment by our leadership and global teams to invest in the people, technology and  services that will continue to maximize our value to clients.  Second, it is a message to clients that Morrow Sodali can provide a comprehensive, one-stop solution for all the challenges companies face with respect to ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance), sustainability, corporate purpose and stakeholder engagement.”

Alvise Recchi, Morrow Sodali CEO, stated: “The trajectory of our firm’s growth and evolution has been shaped in response to successive developments during the past five decades that have impacted corporations, investors, shareholders and the financial markets. These factors range from the rise of collective investment vehicles, the takeover era, shareholder activism, globalization, technological innovation and the evolution of corporate governance, environmental and social issues.“

“Morrow Sodali anticipated these changes and guided corporate clients in adapting to them. Today we are leading the market in dealing with the retreat from shareholder primacy, the emergence of stakeholders, the focus on climate change and the reorientation of the capital markets to embrace goals of diversity, inclusiveness and sustainability.” 

Adam Frederick added, “By staying ahead of the issues and continuously analyzing market expectations, Morrow Sodali has been able to help corporate clients avoid problems before they occur and move forward to achieve their strategic goals. We are very much looking ahead to continuing our role as industry leader over the next 50 years.”
