Episode 3 | Nell Minow: The serious threat to shareholder voting in the US on climate and sustainability risks, and beyond

In the third episode of the Transition Tapes, HughWheelan talks with Nell Minow, who BusinessWeek called "the queen of good corporate governance" and Fortune magazine dubbed "the CEO killer". Minow is Chair of ValueEdgeAdvisors, Co-founder and Director of GMI Ratings, and a former President of ISS.

This is a crucial time for shareholder rights in the US financial system, which are under heavy attack from regulators in Texas and other states, in moves which, if successful, could neuter climate and sustainability proxy voting.

What some people may not know is that Nell is also a total movie buff, and for years has written a magazine column under the moniker of the Movie Mom. Check out her great corporate governance movie references!

Hear:

  • Nell talk about the origins of the business model of proxy voting agencies.
  • How shareholders getting directors with climate change expertise nominated to the board of ExxonMobil precipitated the latest devastating attack on shareholder rights.
  • How Nell defended proxy voting agencies in front of the US Congress.
  • What the implications of the regulatory attack on shareholders rights could be?
  • Nell’s favourite ‘corporate governance’ movies, her Transition Tapes music playlist, and career advice.
