Argyle's disclosure database report: "A Benchmark of Letters from Leadership across: Proxy Statements Annual Reports Sustainability/ESG/CSR Reports" benchmarks letters from leadership (CEOs, board chairs, lead independent directors, and key committee chairs) in recent proxy statements, annual reports, and sustainability reports based on a sampling of 63 Dow 30 and Fortune 50 companies. The Overview captures the most common leadership letter practices among companies both with and without combined CEO/chair leadership structures. The balance of the report includes letter excerpts and direct links to the underlying resources.
