Voting on women and pay at company AGMs
At the Central Finance Board I have been working on revising our AGM voting policy. We have voted shares at company AGMs for many years, under templates I have written with colleagues. Our latest move has been to take a firmer line in promoting the appointment of more women to boards, and alos encouraging companies to disclose their carbon emissions.
These measures are on top of a firm line we take on executive pay. We also encourage companies to pay the living wage.
The Church Times covered the latest moves last week,
