I believe that we are at an interesting time for shareholder activism. Established activists have gotten larger and more successful and have continued to attract investors. Read what David A. Katz at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz has to say on shareholder activism and engagement in our September 2024 issue roundtable: https://lnkd.in/exf3zwER #shareholderactivism

Attended this really informative and challenging session today. Focus of the session was on climate related activism but was relevant to all forms of shareholder activism. Key insights for me were: 🔸 Climate impact investors will heighten their focus on plans to address physical risks on the basis that transition is not fast enough to prevent seriously adverse warming. 🔸 Activists are attracted by an immature practices in environment, social and governance dimensions. Especially true for impact investors focused on climate risks. 🔸 Actions a board can take are similar to the actions required to effectively govern the company: 🔻 ensure you have a credible culture, strategy & action plan. 🔻 engage with shareholders on qualitative matters of concern. 🔻 knowing the proxy advisers and their perspectives really well. 🔸 Practice outside in thinking. The world is a big place and myopic company centric views are not going to help you engage with others. 🔸 Stay out of political meme wars. Nobody really knows what Woke is, especially my demographic. 🔸 Not a good idea to take actions that affect the rights of shareholders. Even if they don't agree with an activists proposal they don't want to lose their rights to agitate for change (see Exxon).
