Donnelley Financial Solutions (NYSE: DFIN), a leading provider
of risk and compliance solutions, released the sixth edition of its
"Guide to Effective Proxies," a comprehensive review of innovative
and shareholder-friendly best practice disclosures drawn from the
public filings of Donnelley Financial Solutions’ blue-chip client
base.
The "Guide to Effective Proxies" covers a broad range of proxy
statement topics and illustrates key areas for improvement to
encourage more thoughtful shareholder voting. Major trends
identified in 2018 corporate proxies include:
- Providing more business context around
company initiatives and performance
- Highlighting board diversity,
performance evaluation and recruitment processes
- Explaining the CEO/median employee pay
ratio and how executive pay is aligned with business strategy and
performance, as well as the broader topic of internal pay
equity
- Outlining the company's Corporate
Social Responsibility profile and Environmental, Social and
Governance reporting trends
"Investors are increasingly measuring companies on a range of
governance, compensation, sustainability and other strategic
issues,” said Ron Schneider, director of Corporate Governance
Services at Donnelley Financial Solutions. "By enhancing proxy
statement disclosures, companies can better engage shareholders and
secure support for the board and management on issues important to
investors.”
Donnelley Financial is number one in proxy filings, providing
services and solutions to over 1,500 companies in the U.S. for
their proxy statement requirements each year. The proxy offering
includes a wide range of services from SEC filing to web-hosting to
traditional printing and distribution of statements.
"This guide has become a trusted go-to resource for companies
looking to transform proxy statements from traditional compliance
documents to compelling shareholder communications," said Craig
Clay, president of Global Capital Markets at Donnelley Financial
Solutions. "Investor expectations have shifted, and proxy
statements have evolved dramatically to keep pace. By sharing our
expertise, companies can meet these changing requirements and
promote greater transparency and enhanced communications with their
shareholders.”
