On behalf of Business Roundtable, thank you again for meeting with us on June 13 to discuss your views on the future of key regulatory matters. As you will recall, the subject of proxy advisory services was very much on the mind of attendees. Accordingly, following our meeting, I asked the Business Roundtable Corporate Governance Committee to provide me with information about their experience with the proxy advisory services. In the interest of furthering the discussion on the role and regulation of proxy advisory services, we would like to take this opportunity to share the key results with you.
U.S. corporations employ millions of American workers, create opportunity for employees and shareholders, drive innovation, improve the lives of consumers, and provide health care and other benefits to American families. The way corporations are governed directly affects the well-being of employees, shareholders and consumers.
Business Roundtable advocates for corporate governance policies that help create long-term value, advance the economic interests of workers, shareholders and consumers, and uphold the highest ethical standards.
