Social Advisory Services

Proxy research and voting services designed to meet the needs of socially responsible investors

Our Social Advisory Services provides extensive insight into social policy proposals, with timely analysis of corporate social responsibility issues, shareholder campaigns, regulations and best practices. This service also helps socially responsible investors leverage their proxy votes in pressing companies to improve their social and environmental practices.

ISS Governance Services works with leading mutual funds, investment management firms, pension funds, foundations and religious groups to develop and implement proxy voting guidelines that are consistent with the underlying values and objectives of the SRI community. Institutional clients can choose from standard SRI policy guidelines, faith-based guidelines, or create their own custom guidelines.
