Investor Insights: Expectations for the 2023 Annual Meeting Season

Institutional Investor Insights: Expectations for the 2023 Annual Meeting Season 

A conversation with investors about ESG priorities, perils and executive pay metrics 

ESG risks and opportunities continue to impact corporate strategic decisions now more than ever. As stakeholder demands for transparency grow, companies must address the complex tasks of incorporating ESG metrics into executive pay and defining and quantifying environmental and social factors – all while wading through the lack of standards and agreed frameworks. Investors, aware of issuer challenges, are themselves facing the impact of an evolving landscape of return on ESG engagement and non-financial ESG-related themes on the 2023 proxy season. 

Georgeson interviewed thirty global institutional investors representing $47 trillion in assets under management that cover voting and engagement in the UK, Europe, US, Japan and ASEAN markets about 2023 expectations to create the December 2022 Institutional Investor Survey Insights Report. 

In this webinar, you’ll hear directly from investors with reference to the Institutional Investor Survey Insights Report on their priorities and expectations for company annual meetings in 2023.
