A Roadmap for the AGM season 2022 | Preparing for shareholder engagement in an era of change

Watch on-demand

As the 2022 AGM season gets underway, investment managers will be making their views heard on a wide range of issues. The last year has shown unprecedented investor commitment to ESG concerns, and with regulatory proposals on climate and sustainability being introduced in the UK, and in continental Europe, experts predict further strong pressure on climate action, while key pillars of COVID -19 recovery strategies, including worker rights, pressure on pay and diversity are also likely to be in the spotlight. Audit quality and dividends are also likely to be a focus for investors.

It is crucial that companies prepare suitably for their AGM. Identifying contentious issues in the first place and proactive shareholder engagement will be the key to avoiding investor dissent. Join this webinar from Diligent and Board Agenda with a panel of experts on how boards should prepare for 2022 AGM season.

Panel guests discussed:
  • Emerging trends from the AGM season 2021
  • Regulatory changes in the UK and Europe, reporting and disclosure requirements
  • Questions boards can expect from shareholders and proxy advisers at AGMs in 2022
