Governance Playbook: From compliance to confidence: Proxies that win trust and votes

The proxy statement is no longer just a compliance document, but a strategic communication tool that reflects your company’s governance priorities, transparency and responsiveness to stakeholder expectations. 

The 2025 proxy season introduced a wave of new practice, from evolving ESG and DE&I disclosures to heightened attention on cybersecurity and AI. As investor demands grow more sophisticated, companies must respond with greater clarity, depth and strategic foresight. 

This playbook offers a comprehensive, actionable framework to help your organization elevate its proxy disclosures. Learn how leading companies are navigating the changing landscape and positioning their proxy statements as both regulatory assets and strategic narratives.

  • Case studies that demonstrate award-winning governance 
  • How to balance and prioritize proxy advisors, investors and company needs
