Governance Intelligence recently presented our 17th annual Corporate Governance Awards at a gala event in New York. We had the opportunity to speak with several distinguished attendees on the red carpet before the ceremony, including Elizabeth Ising, partner with Gibson Dunn.
Gibson Dunn is an adviser to Visa, which took the honors for best governance around a corporate transaction. The law firm is also an adviser to PepsiCo, which was shortlisted for Governance team of the year (large cap) and won the award for best compliance and ethics program (large cap). Ising spoke about some of the exceptional governance work being done by the two companies.
The awards celebrate outstanding achievements by the governance profession in areas such as hosting AGMs, compliance and ethics programs, ESG reporting, entity management, use of technology, proxy statements, investor engagement and corporate transactions.
