MORROW SODALI IS PLEASED TO SPONSOR THE INTERNATIONAL AUXILIARY CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CONFERENCE IN ITALY

Rome – October 11, 2022: Morrow Sodali, the global shareholder engagement and governance consulting firm, is pleased to be taking part in the Auxiliary Corporate Governance Conference entitled “Corporate governance and stewardship: a comparison of international practices and trends”, held in Rome from 12-14 October.

This conference follows the IOC Annual Forum, a pivotal event on 11 October for global corporate governance, organized by the Independent Oversight Committee (IOC) and Assogestioni (Italian investment management association). This unique event aims to gather together the main experts of global corporate governance and the top management of some of the main listed companies in Italy and abroad.

Carlo Trabattoni, Assogestioni’s Chair, and Roberto Gualtieri, Mayor of Rome, will be opening the conference, which will explore key international issues and best practices for corporate governance, stewardship, remuneration and sustainability, with over 80 speakers of primary standing, national and international, representing institutions, investors, issuers, proxy advisors, academics and advisory bigwigs.

“We’re honored to join this global debate on the key challenges and trends on corporate governance and to contribute with insights on main issues, like climate change, transition to a sustainable economy, engagement and remuneration,” says Andrea Di Segni, Senior Managing Director, Morrow Sodali.

Stilpon Nestor, Senior Advisor at Morrow Sodali, will be the keynote speaker on the panel “Rewarding performance: trends and perspectives on financial and non-financial metrics” which will take place on 12 October. “There are a few trade-offs that companies face in setting remuneration and, most importantly, in communicating policy and quantum to their shareholders,” argues Stilpon Nestor. “Therefore, I will reflect on the state of the debate and discuss current trends and concerns in European markets, notably detailed targets versus remuneration committee discretion, fixed versus variable remuneration, long-term versus short-term variable remuneration, and ESG versus shareholder value targets.”

“As we operate in the field of corporate governance advisory to corporates on a day-by-day basis,” adds Fabio Bianconi, Managing Director at Morrow Sodali, “we are well positioned to provide an overview on best practices in shareholder-issuer engagement, along with the key metrics for measuring good corporate governance practices.”
