Directors & Boards Webinar - Filtering the Noise: How Directors Can Manage ESG Expectations
11 Nov 2021 to 11 Nov 2021 Webinar
Online
Join Morrow Sodali’s Greg Reppucci, Director of Sustainability, and Bill Ultan, Managing Director, along with David Shaw, Publishing Director, Directors & Boards as they discuss best approaches for directors to manage ESG expectations.
Events of the past few years have caused remarkable acceleration focused on environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) issues, leading many investors to scrutinize issuer ESG practices and disclosures more deeply. Companies of all industries and sizes are feeling this pressure, and the boardroom is the focal point of this scrutiny. This discussion will explore:
- Events that led to this rapid transition in investor views,
- Explore the notable trends and developments of the past proxy season and engagement cycle, and
- Offer strategies directors can employ to better prepare their companies, and themselves, to minimize ESG-related shareholder activism risk.
We also will address common ESG-focused areas, how issuers can be prepared to address these topics, and expectations for the 2022 proxy season.
