2023 was an eventful year for ASX listed issuers and investors alike.
Amid a cost-of-living crisis, subdued economic growth and continued rising interest rates, investors pressured issuers to deliver greater returns while being more astute with capital expenditure and managing their social license to operate.
These forces played out in several high-profile controversies involving some of Australia’s most iconic consumer and professional services brands.
Throughout 2023, we witnessed 41 strikes delivered against executive remuneration reports across the ASX300.
Over the last two years we have seen a return to consistency regarding meeting format, with little change since 2022. While our clients in the ASX100 demonstrate a clear preference for hybrid meetings, in-person format remains the most utilised across all indices.
