In the report, BlackRock focuses on five engagement priorities, including board quality and effectiveness, incentive pay alignment, climate and natural capital, company impacts on people, as well as strategy, purpose, and financial resilience. Here, Arden and Dave examine the report from a board governance perspective to determine ways boards may enhance their effectiveness and thereby improve the chances of favorable voting outcomes.
