According to Draft Mag, “at the end of the 20th century, Denmark had around a dozen breweries to its name, most conspicuously Carlsberg, one of the world’s largest brewers of industrial lager. A decade into the 21st century, the nation boasted almost 150 breweries.” This microbrewery boom brought in a large variety of craft beers that have tended to do especially well given that “the notoriously unstable Danish weather [caused] an increase in sales of craft beer due to people being driven away from the beaches and into bars or their own homes, where the consumption of craft and specialty beers is higher” (Euromonitor). On a competitive level, Denmark is a somewhat difficult market to compete in on a large scale. As stated by Euromonitor, “beer in Denmark continued to be highly consolidated with the two

  • Georgeson's 2019 Proxy Season Review
    DENMARK Georgeson’s 2019 Proxy Season Review Introduction We are proud to present a thorough analysis of the seven major markets where Georgeson has a widespread client base, and where we are privileged to work closely with many of the leading issuers. Additionally we have included Denmark, in view of our expanding presence in the region. Our local client support, thorough investor engagement and deep market expertise allow us to highlight the issues and trends which will be of interest to both companies and investors. As the world’s leading shareholder engagement firm and corporate governance advisor, Georgeson works hard to ensure that our clients understand the critical issues, trends and personalities which affect and motivate their shareholders, so that they do not become a statistic highlighted in this or any other report. During the 2019 AGM season we have found that, across the seven major markets, the overall proportion of resolutions that received more than 10% opposition has increased by 6.67%. At the same time, proxy advisors continue to hold great influence on voting outcomes with a vast majority of resolutions opposed by proxy advisors receiving high levels of opposition from investors. This highlights how important it is for companies not only to address investor concerns but to proactively engage with proxy advisors as well. Executive remuneration continues to remain a key focal point for investors, with remuneration-related resolutions being amongst the most contested resolutions in the majority of the markets surveyed by Georgeson. This focus on remuneration will have further resonance in 2020, when the revised European Shareholder Rights Directive will introduce annual remuneration votes across the EU.
