The Financial Reporting Council has published an updated list of signatories to the UK Stewardship Code: see here. Last year the FRC published a ranking of Code signatories, placing 40 in the lowest tier - tier 3 - indicating that their approach to stewardship required greater transparency and engagement. Yesterday the FRC announced that tier 3 had been removed, with half of those within it moving into tier 1 or 2 and the remainder deciding they no longer wished to be Code signatories: see here.The FRC has also announced that its review of the UK Corporate Governance Code, being held later this year (twenty five years after the publication of the Cadbury Report and Code), will include questions on the approach it should take in its review of the UK Stewardship Code in 2018.
