Comprehensive resource helps companies elevate proxy design, disclosure strategy, and compliance in a rapidly evolving governance landscape
As companies navigate heightened SEC disclosure requirements and growing investor scrutiny, the guide offers practical strategies to transform proxy statements into powerful communication tools. A strong proxy tells a company's story: who is the executive and board leadership, how they are compensated, and how the company is managing its responsibilities, risks, and performance. Out of over 1,000 proxies reviewed, this year's guide showcases standout examples from more than 350 DFIN clients and reflects how thoughtful design and storytelling are helping companies meet rising investor expectations.
"Today's best proxies communicate performance and purpose to investors to build trust, demonstrate accountability, and clearly show how companies are delivering on strategy," said Craig Clay, President of Global Capital Markets at DFIN. "With increased stakeholder scrutiny, companies are now placing greater emphasis on transparency and engagement, and this year's guide provides a roadmap for companies to articulate their governance framework and long-term strategy with confidence."
What's New in the 13th Edition
The latest Guide to Effective Proxies features expanded sections, practical examples, and emerging disclosure themes, including:
