Thematic Voting Policies
Fulfill Your Unique Governance Objectives
Choose a thematic policy that reflects your goals and values.

Many institutional investors face diverse priorities and regulations, making proxy voting policy development resource intensive. Glass Lewis' Thematic Proxy Voting Policies provide tailored guidelines to streamline policy management and support distinct governance objectives.
Policy Options
Bowyer Research Policy
Bowyer Research, an investment and proxy consulting firm, offers policy guidelines for investors skeptical of politicized ESG and DEI initiatives. They oppose proposals advancing these practices, whether from shareholder activists or company management. At the same time, they support shareholder proposals that aim to counter ESG and DEI policies and move companies back toward political neutrality.

Corporate Governance Focused Policy
Ensures compliance with fiduciary duties to drive long-term shareholder value while emphasizing key corporate governance principles.

Climate Policy
Incorporates governance, oversight, management, and reporting of climate risks and opportunities into proxy voting practices.

ESG Policy
Supports investors focused on environmental and social issues or serves as a supplemental voting policy for ESG-focused funds.

BVI Policy
Provides guidance to BVI members for independent analysis of resolutions at general meetings of both listed and unlisted companies.

Proxinvest Policy
Encourages European public companies to enhance governance and ESG practices through rigorous voting guidelines.

Catholic Policy
Aligns with principles of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, serving religious investors or funds for religious institutions.

Public Pension Policy
Supports public pension plans in meeting fiduciary responsibilities, emphasizing extremely long-term investment horizons.

Taft Hartley Policy
Facilitates compliance with the fiduciary voting requirements of the Taft-Hartley Labor Act and ERISA, reviewing labor practices, EEOC compliance, union relations, and job safety.
