DFIN (Donnelley) pre-released the Emerging Topics section of its always eagerly awaited annual "Guide to Effective Proxies" so that companies may begin benchmarking their disclosures or disclosure approaches against their peers sufficiently in advance of the 2021 proxy season. The searchable, interactive guide includes numerous sample disclosures on these hot topics: board oversight, climate risk, supply chain, human rights, deforestation, biodiversity, corporate culture, diversity & inclusion, health and safety, and employee engagement - as well as the ability to access full proxies (for contextual purposes) with one easy click.
We will report on the full guide, which typically includes sample text and graphics disclosures on such additional topics as board diversity, board skills matrices, board and director evaluations, director recruitment and succession, and risk oversight, upon its release.
Access additional information & resources - including samples and templates - on our Annual Meeting/Proxy Statement page.
