During this most recent proxy season, companies that engaged Toppan Merrill’s consultation experts realized thousands of dollars of savings while uncovering ways to upgrade their design and messaging to communicate a more effective story.

 

The Toppan Merrill consultation will address:

 

  • Proxy Statements
  • Annual Reports
  • Environmental Impact Statements
  • Corporate Sustainability Reports
  • Environmental and Social Governance Reports
  • Interactive, Online Documents

  • "The shareholder communications team conducted a peer group analysis for our company and discovered an inefficient proxy layout and suggested we embrace "plain English" content. By changing our layout and content, we've increased voter participation and created a lighter document which saved us $32,000 in production and mailing costs.”
