With |
| The SBA works with the following
shareholder groups and research providers to
implement its corporate governance
program:
Council of Institutional
Investors (CII)
The SBA is a long-standing member of the
Council. We work with CII in various
capacities, including serving on the board and policy committees,
participating in
communications with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on
important shareholder issues, and engaging
companies for governance reform.
International Corporate Governance Network
The SBA is a member
of this leading group of global instituitional investors
concerned with international corporate governance issues. The SBA
participates
on its Cross-Border Voting Practices
subcommittee.
Glass, Lewis &
Co.
Glass Lewis provides global proxy
research and advice for approximately 8,000
companies. The SBA uses the Glass
Lewis voting recommendations, in
conjunction with our
own policy guidelines to make proxy decisions.
Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS)
ISS provides
several services to the SBA including "Corporate Governance
Quotient" company ratings, proxy
recommendation research services, and voting
analytics. The SBA
uses ISS voting recommendations, in conjunction with
our
own policy guidelines to make proxy decisions.
GovernanceMetrics
International
(GMI)
GMI provides corporate governance research and ratings on more than 3,200
global companies using principles promulgated by the community of
institutional
investors and groups such as the Organization for
Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD), the Commonwealth
Association for Corporate Governance,
the International Corporate Governance Network (ICGN), and the Business
Roundtable.
Equilar
Equilar provides director and
executive compensation data for more than 4,000
companies. Equilar
Insight reports include data covering cash compensation,
long-term awards,
present values of option grants, company financial performance,
and employment
agreements. Equilar's services are used by the SBA to monitor
and research executive compensation
levels.
The Corporate Library
The
SBA subscribes to several services provided by The Corporate Library
covering over 2,000 U.S. and 500 large international companies. The
Corporate
Library's Board Effectiveness Rating is intended to
identify possible risk by
highlighting potential areas
of ineffective oversight by the board. The rating
focuses on board
actions rather than compliance with typical policies or
structures
and has an explicit component measuring executive compensation.
Conference Board Corporate Governance Center
Conference Board Corporate Governance Center brings together a distinguished
group of senior corporate executives from leading world-class companies and
influential institutional investors in a non-adversarial setting. In small
groups, discussions enable a free-flowing exchange of ideas and effective
networking. This highly unique forum allows industry leaders to debate, develop,
and advance innovative governance practices, and to drive landmark research
in corporate governance. Founded in 1993 and now a core division of The
Conference Board, the Governance Center is committed to helping corporations
enhance their governance processes, inspire market confidence, and facilitate
capital formation in today's globally competitive marketplace.
