Members of UKSA have contributed to the new guidance for listed companies to enhance effective shareholder participation when planning and conducting AGMs.
The FRC promotes 7 principles, covering inclusion, access, disclosures, updates, and voting, that apply before, during and after the AGM, as well as engagement throughout the year.
It also reminds companies that engagement with shareholders is more than an annual event, and that using new technologies will help maximise shareholder engagement.
