Corporate Governance & Engagement

Institutional investors in large cap listed companies use our services to engage with their portfolio companies. Investors increasingly develop an ongoing dialogue with their portfolio companies outside shareholder and analysts meeting. The purpose of such interaction is to propose possible improvements. With its local presence and fifteen years of expertise in corporate governance, Deminor is well placed to advice investors in the field of corporate governance and to carry out the engagement process for them. Recently, Deminor included environmental and social aspects in its analysis, which allows us to provide a fully integrated "ESG" (environmental, social and governance) to its engagement service offering.

Engagement mandates are carried out on an individual, tailor-made basis.

 
When institutional investors want to promote governance change with their portfolio companies, they increasingly prefer to start an open dialogue outside the shareholder meeting. We help investors to develop a corporate governance policy for Continental European markets, integrating the specific features of each local market and the criteria and objectives of the investor.

 

As part of our service, we alert investors about contentious corporate governance issues within a selected universe and advice them on whether or not any action is recommendable.

Deminor effectively carrious out engagement programmes for its clients, whether or not as a reaction to a contentious issue. In most cases, our clients prefer to engage with target companies as a preventive tool and less as a reaction to specific events.

 

Recently we included social and environmental aspects into our analysis of listed companies, which allows us to offer a fully integrated ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) engagement service to our clients.
