«What’s new?
In this seventh edition, you will see that ACSI has revised and streamlined many existing principles, as well as providing
specific guidance and examples of the factors it considers when assessing voting recommendations for its members (in
most cases, featured in highlighted ‘breakout’ boxes).
New guidelines have been added regarding:
- Board gender diversity, based on the belief that skilled and suitably diverse boards make for better‐governed companies and, as such, higher value investments – in line with ACSI’s target of 30% women on each ASX200 board by 2017.
- A new section on major transactions which refines ACSI’s views on capital raising conduct, share buybacks and expected behaviours during takeovers.
- Strengthening the guidelines relating to shareholder resolutions to require that boards must consider the substance of shareholder resolutions, offer to engage with its proponents and (if the board recommends a vote ‘against’) to explain publicly why its position better serves shareholders’ long term interests.
- Clearly articulating that ACSI supports companies taking a bespoke approach in remuneration matters that bestsuitsthe specific needs of the company, as well asrefinementsincluding sign‐on grants and non‐executive director shareholdings».
