Limerick, February 19, 2025 – Glass Lewis, a global leader in corporate governance insights and proxy voting execution, today announced its commitment to the Swiss Stewardship Code. As European institutional investors fulfill both mandatory and voluntary stewardship obligations, many are aligning their practices with frameworks like the Swiss Stewardship Code. Glass Lewis plays a key role in supporting institutional investors by providing expert guidance and customized engagement and proxy voting solutions.
Developed by the Asset Management Association Switzerland and Swiss Sustainable Finance, the Code aims to strengthen stewardship practices across the Swiss investment industry. By engaging with thousands of companies worldwide and offering diverse proxy voting policies, Glass Lewis facilitates meaningful dialogue and informed decision-making, helping its institutional clients effectively meet their stewardship responsibilities in alignment with the Code.
“As a longstanding participant in Switzerland’s investment stewardship ecosystem, Glass Lewis values its ongoing dialogue with Swiss public companies, investors, and policymakers,” said Chris Rushton, Senior Director of EMEA Research at Glass Lewis. “By endorsing the Code, we continue to advance corporate governance and responsible investment across the Swiss financial landscape, ensuring investors have access to informed insights and comprehensive stewardship solutions.”
The Code emphasizes strong governance, effective conflict management, company monitoring, and active ownership through engagement and voting—all of which align with Glass Lewis’ role as a trusted research, engagement, and voting services provider to institutional investors in Switzerland. The company offers customizable services, enabling clients to leverage its Stewardship team for specific engagement campaigns or participate in a structured engagement program. Additionally, Glass Lewis is well-known for its industry-leading governance research, proxy voting technology and broad range of voting policies that support investors’ unique stewardship priorities.
