The Advisors' Blog

ESG in executive pay is one of the hottest topics right now, and that’s why we’ll be covering it in several panels at our upcoming “Proxy Disclosure & Executive Compensation Conferences” – so don’t forget to register.

As we’ve blogged repeatedly, diversity metrics are the most common addition to pay plans right now – but many companies that they’ll be adding those goals on a prospective basis have not yet filed proxies to explain the details. This Equilar blog looks at a couple of early examples of proxy disclosures, specifically:

– Allstate proxy filed March 5th

– CVS proxy filed April 2nd

– Dow proxy filed April 12th

The blog also notes that from March to July, there was a five percentage point increase in the number of Fortune 100 companies that were using at least one type of ESG metric, pushing the total to over 40%.
