PLSA Stewardship & Voting Guidelines 2022

The PLSA’s 2022 stewardship and voting guidelines provide a framework for pension schemes trustees, and investors generally, to ensure that companies are held to account on key issues in the forthcoming AGM season.

This edition sets out:

• The importance of caution in executive pay proposals, and how investors should vote if they are concerned.
• The latest diversity standards that investors should take into consideration.
• How companies should be reporting on climate risk and impact

The guidelines also set out a framework for issues trustees should be considering in relation to board evaluation, audit and capital structure.
