Georgeson’s “2026 Policy Updates from Key Investors” highlights select proxy voting policy/guideline revisions from Capital Group, Geode Capital Management, T. Rowe Price, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, Dodge & Cox, and New York State Common Retirement Fund, reflecting evolving positions on topics such as reincorporation, board composition, say-on-pay and say-on-pay frequency, board diversity, and emerging shareholder proposals.
Among other recently updated policies and guidelines:
- BNY Mellon’s 2026 proxy voting guidelines, which, among other updates, replace the standalone “Environmental and Social Risks” voting category with a broader “Shareholder Proposals” category and more explicitly tie voting decisions to long-term shareholder value, as reflected in this redline (courtesy of Proxy Analytics).
- UBS’s 2026 proxy voting guidelines, which replace all references to “ESG” with “sustainability” (see this redline).
