Shareholder AGM attendance boom due to ESG
24 August 2022
Shareholder attendance at AGMs has jumped 134% in the past 12 months due to an eagerness to hold bosses to account on ESG and pay issues. Engagement at meetings has also reached record levels.
“The shareholder voice is louder than ever,” said Lumi, a company that manages AGMs for the entire FTSE 100.
Digital AGMs are helping drive engagement, adds the firm; two in three AGMs this year were done entirely digitally.
