Issuer Data Verification (IDR)

Glass Lewis is dedicated to high quality, accurate corporate governance research based on publicly available information. The Issuer Data Report (IDR) program is a key component of our engagement initiatives, ahead of annual general meetings (AGMs). This pre-publication service provides companies with an opportunity to validate information before we deliver our Proxy Paper research and recommendations to our global network of institutional investor clients.

‍

Some of the data points displayed in the IDR include:

‍

• Board composition and external directorships
• Auditor and associated fees
• Executive compensation, including a breakdown of pay, incentives, and equity plans
• ESG practices and oversight relevant to the Glass Lewis ESG Profile.

In regions where the IDR is available, the service is free of charge and only requires a quick one-time registration to enroll. Registered companies are given two business days to review relevant data.

‍

Companies are eligible to participate where:

‍

• Primary listing is in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Israel, Japan, India, Singapore, Malaysia, South Africa, or Hong Kong (Hang Seng Index only)
• Registration is requested more than 30 days before the next annual general meeting, and before our Proxy Paper is published. Registrations made after this timeframe will be registered for subsequent year reviews.
