PIRC (the consultancy that provides corporate governance advisory services to certain institutional investors) has published the 2020 edition of its UK Shareholder Voting Guidelines. The guidelines set out PIRC’s views on good corporate governance practice for listed companies and cover a wide range of topics such as board structure, remuneration policies and management of social and environmental issues.
The guidelines have been updated to reflect a number of developments in practice, including in relation to audit and auditors and practice in relation to the UK Corporate Governance Code. It also includes an enhanced section on the the reporting of environmental and social issues.
The guidelines are not available on the PIRC website, but copies can be ordered for a fee via the website.
