Glass Lewis Announces Multi-Perspective Framework

In October 2025, Glass Lewis announced plans to shift from singularly-focused research and vote recommendations anchored by a global voting policy toward providing multiple perspectives reflecting the viewpoints of clients.

On August 26, 2026, Glass, Lewis & Co. sent a message to clients providing an overview of its proposed new multi-perspective framework for the firm’s proxy advisory services that contemplates four distinct perspectives, which are described as follows

• Business Fundamentals – takes a flexible view of governance standards when boards and management teams have demonstrated a strong record of generating shareholder returns
• Foundational Governance – treats core governance standards as essential to safeguard long-term shareholder value
