Forslag fra pensionskasser

To udenlandske pensionskasser har udarbejdet en model for, hvordan dialog mellem de børsnoterede selskabers bestyrelser og de professionelle investorer kan systematiseres. Forslaget er sendt til navngivne selskaber. Som bestyrelsens hensigtserklæring forslås følgende tekst: ”In conducting engagement, the Board considers that both shareholders and board directors should respect and understand certain protocols, including that:Shareholders and Board directors should be clear about the purpose of engagement meetings as well the desired outcomes of meetings. Informational requests or requests pertaining to matters not under the Board’s purview may be responded to by management. Shareholders and Board directors understand the restrictions on discussion areas  imposed by Regulation Fair Disclosure. Shareholders and Board directors respect the confidential nature of their communications. Shareholders and Board directors sufficiently prepare for meetings. Board directors prefer the opportunity to learn about and address legitimate shareholder concerns in private sessions, rather than through public platforms such as the media.”
