Pressure mounts on issuers to enhance ESG disclosure: Although average support for E&S shareholder proposals appeared to fall over the last two years, the number that passed remains elevated and more ESG requests are being withdrawn for agreements. 26 E&S proposals won majority support at S&P 500 companies in 2022, compared to 17 and 30 in 2020 and 2021, respectively. 

ESG activism out of favor with hedge funds: Rising inflation has placed ESG activism on the backburner for traditional activist hedge funds. 27 activist campaigns launched by primary- or partial-focus activists have featured environmental and/or social demands in the first five months of 2023, compared to 43 in the same period a year prior.

Tom heads up the firm’s European shareholder activism practice, while Sonica is a specialist in public company M&A, ECM, and shareholder activism. 

Among the top findings:

Emissions reporting takes centrestage: CSRD has ushered in a new era of ESG accountability, mandating European issuers with upwards of 250 employees annually report on sustainability policies and targets, including their Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, starting in 2025. 

The cost-of-living crisis drives investor revolts: FTSE 350 executive pay hit record highs in 2022, with total CEO realized pay averaging 3.03 million pounds ($3.76m), compared to 2.1 million and 2.6 million pounds in 2020 and 2021, respectively. 
 
Activists push for sales amid depressed stock valuations: Activist intentions have shifted from blocking deals to demanding the sale of long undervalued companies, at a time when interest rates and inflation are limiting other growth options. Fifteen companies faced demands for a sale and/or acquisition of a third-party last year, an increase from 13 in 2021, while the number of companies facing opposition to M&A transactions fell to 15 in 2022, from 29 in 2021.
