Minerva’s analysts collected a wealth of voting data in 2022, allowing us to put together the headline statistic here. Our analysis covers 348 of the UK’s largest 350 companies and a total of 432 shareholder meetings, as several companies held a non-AGM during the y ear such as a general meeting, a court meeting. These 432 meetings brought about a total of 6,724 resolutions of which 12 were not voted on by shareholders due to either the resolution being withdrawn ahead of the meeting or due to the actual meeting being adjourned by the company.  

Among the many resolutions put before shareholders, 2022 saw an increased number of shareholder votes on climate-related resolutions. Social issues, especially diversity and equity, also emerged with renewed importance.
