The board of director and compensation-related questions include:

  • Board gender diversity, including what might constitute a mitigating factor
  • Director overboarding
  • Combined CEO/Chair role in the U.S.
  • Display of prior GAAP metrics used prior to the proposed use of EVA in ISS’ Financial Performance secondary screen as part of its quantitative pay-for-performance analysis for Say-on-Pay vote recommendations

ISS will use the responses to this policy survey in formulating its 2020 policy updates.
