DSW's Voting Guidelines

The German Corporate Governance Code developed by the Corporate Governance Commission is the minimum standard for Corporate Governance in Germany and at the same time the key guideline for DSW’s voting recommendations. Beyond the official Code, DSW - as the first German shareholder association - now developed its own Voting Guidelines to specifically make clear for foreign investors how DSW exercises votes for its members and other investors or representatives.

The DSW Voting Guidelines are updated annually and cover recurring proposals at German General Meetings, like for instance the discharge of management and supervisory board, capital measures, share repurchases or board elections.

You can order the DSW Voting Guidelines 2011 (in English) via EMail and vs. payment of Euro 95,- plus taxes. If you are interested in further information on the DSW Voting Guidelines, please contact jella.bennerheinacherdsw-info.de.
