• The continuing evolution of shareholder activism, including lessons learned from the use of the Universal Proxy Card and trends impacting the 2024 Proxy Season.
  
  
• Regulatory developments and investor perspectives on corporate sustainability, particularly following a year of increasing political, legal and commercial pushback on ESG.

• Responding to the increasing demands on Boards of Directors and Officers in satisfying their duty of oversight under Caremark and monitoring functional compliance programs.
