Jasper Street’s monthly newsletter reports on trends in management and shareholder proposal voting results, inclusive of director elections, say-on-pay, equity plans, and ESG shareholder proposals for meetings as of May 1. This line graph depicts changes in support for environmental, social, and governance shareholder proposals from 2019 to date.
Notably, support for environmental and social proposals has declined appreciably since the peak in 2021, while support for governance proposals has remained relatively steady since 2019.
The newsletter also summarizes recent developments in the areas of activism, institutional investors, and policy / standard-setting.
