IRRC Institute/ISS Survey on Investor-Company Engagement 2013

In collaboration with the IRRC Institute, ISS is conducting a study of the state of issuer-investor engagement in the U.S., to update our previous study published in 2011.

As an initial step, we are seeking input from a broad base of issuers and investors on their engagement activities. We have developed a short survey that investigates the issues, goals and outcomes of engagement, and how these have changed in recent years. Your responses will provide important information on the level and focus of engagement activity, insight into the expectations and experiences of both issuers and investors, and illuminate how the engagement process can become more productive and successful for both issuers and investors.

Thank you for providing your input through this brief survey on your engagement activities. It should take only a few minutes to complete.

Your responses will be held strictly confidential and will be used only for the purposes of this study. No individually identifiable information from this survey will be released.
