Argyle's latest 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 full report includes letter excerpts and direct links to the underlying resources. The Executive Summary captures the most common leadership letter practices among companies both with and without combined CEO/chair leadership structures.
