What a day in San Francisco! We were recently joined by clients, media, and our broader network from across the Bay Area for a day of connection and conversation. We began with our off-the-record Summit on the Bay, which brought together senior leaders from across industries to share ideas and insights on leading through complexity. As the sun set, we gathered for our annual Brunswick reception. As part of Brunswick’s global network, San Francisco continues to be a vital hub where technology, finance, and policy intersect. We look forward to building on the conversations and connections sparked throughout the day.

The Brunswick Sustainability Radar provides a forward looking and global perspective on the fast-moving policy landscape. As corporate sustainability continues to face an inflection point, it explores the broader trends shaping stakeholder expectations and regulatory requirements. In the most recent edition: 1. The EU’s package to simplify reporting requirements narrows the scope, but not the spirit, of sustainability rules. 2. Carbon markets are entering a new era of gradual convergence, with implications for business. 3. In the U.S., California is setting its own course, widening the gap with federal rules and creating a more complex map for business. We explain what this means and the moves leaders should prioritize now. Get in touch with Wolfgang Blau, Zohir Uddin, Edmund Cockshutt, Constance Azis, or Isaac Lockwood to access the full report.

Activists are increasingly asking investors to oppose the election of board directors without running alternative slates, and they can do it at a fraction of the cost of traditional proxy contests. In a new piece for the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance, Brunswick's Charlie Koons and Greg Roumeliotis set out how companies should calibrate their public posture to this growing challenge. The public communications approach is crucial – over- or under-reacting both carry real costs. Read the five key factors that can help you make the right call: https://lnkd.in/eSubx9eM
