Governance Intelligence recently presented our 17th annual Corporate Governance Awards at a gala event in New York. We had the chance to speak with some of the distinguished attendees on the red carpet before the ceremony, among them Brady Long, executive vice president and chief legal officer at Transocean.
Transocean was shortlisted in the Best shareholder engagement (small to mid-cap) category. Among other things, the company’s engagement program includes meetings with shareholders focused solely on governance topics and an emphasis on including directors in the process. We asked Long what he sees as key components of Transocean’s efforts and the lessons he will take forward from this year’s engagement program.
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.
