PIRC is in the DNA of the good corporate governance

“Let’s not forget how quickly yesterday’s heresy can become today’s mainstream opinion. Ten years ago PIRC was portrayed as pursuing a radical agenda. Now much of what PIRC said in the past is in the DNA of UK corporate governance. Back then many fund managers did not even vote, now the large majority do, and many try and vote intelligently rather than routinely supporting management.“
Brendan Barber
General Secretary, Trades Union Congress, October 2003
