Overall, the 2024 General Meeting Season demonstrated European and British companies’ ability to possess strong governance, present transparent remuneration and make sensible requests of their shareholders. 2024 high voting results have taken more than a decade to achieve. It is fair to say that company-investor relations have never been sounder on this topic.

It is therefore ironic to have accomplished so much in corporate governance at a time when local European and the London stock exchanges are under so much pressure to keep their best companies and attract new ones to list in the face of the temptation of relisting elsewhere, such as New York, to attain a possible share price re-rating. Surely our only solution in this competitive landscape cannot simply be to “dumb down” our local corporate governance codes and abandon all the valuable improvements in international best practice?
