This report sets out a bold new vision for the purpose of the AGM of the future. It addresses how companies, shareholders, stakeholders and policymakers can play their part in making the AGM of the future the backbone of corporate governance and investor stewardship. The report sets out recommendations for the future: it doesn’t claim to have all the answers, but our recommended actions aim to paint an unfinished picture expressing the scale of ambition required, and generate further discussions on the nuances of the changes required. As such, this piece is a means to an end, and not an end in itself.
