Corporate Governance and Executive Compensation Survey 2020

Shearman & Sterling’s 18th Annual Corporate Governance & Executive Compensation Survey reports on traditional governance topics, including shareholder engagement and activism, governance practices of newly public companies, CEO pay ratio, compensation clawback policies, cybersecurity and board diversity as well as looking at how his year’s dramatic and unprecedented events have compelled board members to acknowledge that the corporation’s obligation to society at large has only intensified, with some influential voices going so far as to question the long-standing shareholder primacy model of the corporation.
