Among other updates, the 2018 Guidelines:

• Align with the revised requirements of the EU Directive on Non-Financial Reporting, which takes effect for large European corporations in 2018;
• Address the emerging best practice of clearly disclosing the board’s skills and competencies;
• Harmonize our approach in areas such as shareholder dissent and board responsiveness, and clarify certain methodologies, including in relation to board ratification proposals; and
• Reflect a range of local market regulatory updates, from expanded disclosure guidance in the German Kodex to the UK’s Parker Review on Boardroom Diversity.
