Highlights from the IR Magazine Think Tank \u2013 France:\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Regulation, activism and ESG topped the agenda at IR Magazine\u2019s Think Tank<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

IR COMMUNITY TACKLES MIFID II, MAR AND ESG<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Olivier Psaume, head of IR at information technology firm Sopra Steria<\/em> (in addition to his role as Cliff\u2019s Chairman) <\/em>started the Panel by giving \u00a0an overview of the challenges facing IR.<\/p>\n

One of those challenges was identified as the changing face of the sell side, particularly in the wake of Mifid II<\/strong>. Every IRO\u2019s favorite piece of EU legislation had been in play for nine months at the time of the conference, and it proved central to a morning briefing on regulation delivered by Guillaume Cerezo, head of IR<\/em> at insurance services firm APRIL<\/em>. Having joined his firm in 2016 just as the new Market Abuse Regulation (MAR)<\/strong> was introduced, Cerezo had helped oversee early compliance and had plenty of tips for the audience about using new regulations as an opportunity to set your firm apart. Among them was using internal stakeholders to not only achieve compliance but also improve efficiency.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

<\/h3>\n

IROs shared stories of how they were reacting to both MAR<\/strong> and Mifid II, with many saying that the regulation had affected their day-to-day work \u2013 but not necessarily for the worse. One consistent story at both mid- and small-cap companies, however, was that the level of research coverage from brokers is falling, and steps needed to be taken to combat this.<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/h3>\n

Action against activism<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Best practice roundtable discussions were scattered around the room, each tackling a different topic \u2013 debt IR, crisis management, roadshow planning and targeting strategies<\/strong> \u2013 each with a different IR expert at the helm. It sparked some interesting conversation, particularly at your correspondent\u2019s table: IROs swapped stories of difficult brokers, of events gone wrong and of the lengths they had gone to in order to track down new pools of equity.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

All things ESG<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"After lunch, Vincent Dufief, CSR IR manager<\/em> at energy firm Total<\/em>, led a panel that examined the role of ESG<\/strong> and how it relates to long-term value creation. Dufief described an appreciation for these factors and your company\u2019s long-term health as, in fact, a recognition of your firm\u2019s raison d\u2019\u00eatre, and said giving investors an insight into your management\u2019s long-term vision would always be a rewarding exercise.<\/p>\n

Dufief was joined by ESG-focused representatives from the buy side and sell sides who offered insights into the metrics they used to assess companies, the questions they would like IR to tackle and how the industry is moving from an exclusionary investment approach toward integrating ESG factors into its decision-making.<\/p>\n

Each panelist agreed the IR website was, as well as a window into the soul of a company, the best place to start tackling ESG engagement.<\/p>\n

The theme continued into the afternoon, with the final session of the day providing an opportunity for the audience to hear from the source about what governance issues investors are interested in: C\u00e9dric Lav\u00e9rie, head of French research at ISS<\/em>, took the audience through the changing face of ESG\u2019s \u2018G\u2019 and the changing role of proxy advisers.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that for those investors interested in promoting good governance, the same issues continued to crop up in 2018\u2019s proxy season. The ongoing impact of France\u2019s Sapin II law<\/strong> \u2013 introduced in June 2017, aiming to promote transparency and curb corporate corruption \u2013 is still being felt, but was leading companies to improve disclosure, while ISS is still engaging many French firms on matters relating to \u2018le say on pay\u2019.<\/p>\n

Lav\u00e9rie also took time to review the summer\u2019s update to the Afep-Medef corporate governance code <\/strong>for listed corporations, which tasks boards of directors with prioritizing \u2018long-term value creation\u2019 and requires regular corporate reviews of how governance information is disclosed.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, Lav\u00e9rie said:<\/p>\n

\n

Proxy advisers should not be perceived as the enemy, but rather as a window into those investors whose interests they represent, as well as a valuable source of intelligence for IR.<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n
