- Constitution refreshes were popular and overwhelmingly supported by shareholders, though amendments for fully virtual AGMs continue to raise questions for some
- Fewer strikes on remuneration
- Fewer shareholder requisitioned ESG resolutions, and those put forward received less support from shareholders
- All 8 ‘say on climate’ resolutions passed
- Vast majority of candidates standing for election and re-election received support of 95% or more, demonstrating overwhelming shareholder support
