Webinar – ESG and activism: How should companies prepare for engagement?
About this talk
Companies are under increasing risk of activism over ESG issues. While governance has always been a key focus for investors, environmental issues have rapidly climbed the agenda in recent years, especially those related to climate change. More recently, the Covid-19 pandemic has thrust attention on previously overlooked social issues, such as employee safety and welfare.
In this webinar, we will explore how institutional investors consider ESG factors in their engagement and proxy voting, with a particular focus on the continental European market. We will also hear from companies about how they manage investor engagement over ESG issues and what methods they are using to track and report progress in this area.
In this webinar you’ll hear:
• How engagement differs depending on the ESG topic in question
• Which issues investors are focused on in 2020, and expectations for next year
• Case studies of successful engagement over ESG issues
• How to use sustainable reporting frameworks to demonstrate progress against goals.

ABOUT GOVERNANCE INTELLIGENCE
Governance Intelligence was founded in 2002 to help corporate secretaries and other governance professionals develop a deeper understanding of their roles and become more effective in them at a time when publicly listed companies’ regulatory compliance requirements began to escalate amid a series of high-profile corporate accounting scandals.
Governance Intelligence is a digital content and events company, providing a forum where governance experts and service providers can share their experience, insights and best practice recommendations on a wide range of critical issues, from corruption, internal investigations, e-discovery and records management to succession planning, executive compensation, proxy actions and shareholder engagement. Governance Intelligence is independently owned and today continues to serve a vital role in highlighting the achievements and expertise of a group of people who work outside the spotlight and are often isolated as the only individuals in their organizations focusing on these complex matters.
