Our service provider EOS at Federated EOS cofiled a shareholder proposal for one of the largest operators of retail drugstores to annually disclose on the use of its clawback provision on executive compensation. Interest in clawback use in particular relates to the company’s management of its role in opioid use. The proposal was withdrawn to facilitate further engagement on how the company is managing its product governance and stewardship of opioids.

EOS also lead filed a proposal at BP plc which went to a vote. The proposal called for the company to describe how its strategy is consistent with the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change.
More than 99% of votes cast were in favour of the resolution, which was pursued through the Climate Action 100+ collaborative engagement platform. The resolution was also backed by BP itself.

20.6. 貴社が他の投資家によって提出されたESG株主決議を審査するかどうかについて説明してください。

20.7. 補足情報[任意] 

Our service provider EOS at Federated Hermes encourages boards to engage with serious, committed long-term shareholders, including EOS on behalf of its clients. Where boards interact in an active and engaged way with shareholders on issues that affect companies’ long-term value, EOS will see less need to file or support shareholder resolutions. In EOS’ experience, shareholder proposals can be a natural starting point or a catalyst for related dialogue with issuers and thus avail themselves of these opportunities, where appropriate, whether or not EOS recommends voting in favour of the resolution itself.  EOS expects boards to address the issues raised by shareholder proposals which receive significant support or where they are material to the company. In addition,  EOS views any failure to implement a shareholder proposal that has received majority support as a clear indication of a board of directors not fulfilling its obligations to the owners of the company.


LEA 21. Examples of (proxy) voting activities

21.1. 報告年度に貴社またはサービスプロバイダーが実行した(委任状による)議決権行使の例を提供してください。

ESGトピック
Climate Change
意思決定者
目的

EOS supports the Transition Pathway Initiative, (TPI), a global, asset-owner led initiative that assesses companies’ preparedness for the transition to a low carbon economy. In 2019 it introduced the guideline that it would consider recommending a vote against the chair of the board of a company with a management ranking of 0 or 1 by the TPI, unless the company had provided a credible plan to address the climate risks and opportunities of the low carbon transition.

 

対象範囲およびプロセス

EOS wrote to 63 companies to advise them of this guideline and to request further engagement ahead of each company’s annual shareholder meeting. It also met over 10 companies, with one Japanese motor vehicle manufacturer agreeing to make improvements to its reporting in response to this engagement. EOS then voted against the chairs of the nominations and governance committees at some companies, citing climate governance as a key reason.

ESGトピック
Executive Remuneration
意思決定者
目的

EOS believes that companies should design and implement remuneration policies that align the interests of management with the interests of shareholders and incentivise executives to optimise long-term value. Its core objectives concern the implementation by companies of remuneration approaches aligned with the Hermes Remuneration Principles, including the simplification of remuneration schemes, the reduction of variable-to-fixed pay ratios, a focus on strategic goals and increased executive shareholdings.

対象範囲およびプロセス

EOS’s voting recommendations on pay reflected these concerns, with an overall 33.3% recommended vote against rate in 2019, versus 33.15% in 2018. In the UK EOS opposed 28% of remuneration reports based on concerns such as excessive quantum and pay outcomes not aligned with performance. For example, it opposed the report at a European oil major, where the policy paid out at near maximum. In the US, EOS recommended voting against over 82% of say-on-pay proposals in 2019 due to concerns about quantum and insufficient long-term alignment. Targeting CEO pay in the top quartile of peers is one of the ways it seeks to address quantum, a critical issue in the US following many years of pay ratcheting up. It opposed pay proposals at three US retailers where CEO pay was in the top quartile of peers.

Company leadership issues
意思決定者
目的

Board composition is critical to the good management of companies and one of the most important shareholder powers is the ability to elect board directors. A diverse board is vital to good decision-making, so EOS stepped up its expectations on gender diversity in 2019.

対象範囲およびプロセス

In the UK, EOS tightened its policy for board-level gender diversity with a guideline of 30% women for FTSE 100 boards and 25% for FTSE 250. It also introduced a policy on below-board diversity, with the guideline that it would consider recommending a vote against the chair of FTSE 100 companies with no women on their executive committee. In the US, EOS continued to push its expectations on board diversity across a number of dimensions, recommending opposition to 916 proposals in 2019, compared with 618 proposals in 2018.

In Germany, EOS released its new German Corporate Governance principles, which set out its expectations for 2020 and beyond, including that companies achieve 30% female representation on executive boards. Currently, only 8% of German companies have more than one woman on the executive board. Two-thirds still have no female board members. EOS raised the issue of diversity at one German car manufacturer’s annual shareholder meeting, along with concerns about audit tenure that led it to oppose the ratification of the auditors.
