UK: the Aberdeen corporate governance principles

Aberdeen Asset Management has published its corporate governance principles, known as the Aberdeen corporate governance principles. According to AAM:

The Aberdeen Corporate Governance Principles provide a framework for investment analysis, shareholder engagement and proxy voting for companies worldwide. The Principles aim to combine international best practices with an understanding of the economic, legal and cultural context of each company. They are not intended either as a set of prerequisites for investment nor as an exhaustive list of proxy voting intentions, but rather as an outline of Aberdeen’s views across all aspects of corporate governance. The main text of the Principles is supplemented with specific examples from around the world that further illustrate many of the most important or topical issues".
