We hope you enjoy our 2022 Corporate Governance Survey (our 20th Annual). Throughout this
Survey, we provide insights on specific topics of interest in the current environment, including
practical advice for boards and management. Across all topics our goal is to provide an overview
of the current corporate governance landscape and to identify best practices. In addition
to the insights articles, the Survey consists of a review of key governance characteristics
of the Top 100 Companies, which we define as the 100 largest companies that have securities
listed on the NYSE or Nasdaq, measured by market capitalization and revenue. A list of the
Top 100 Companies can be found in "The Survey" section at the end of this publication.
The 2022 Survey was produced under the leadership of the following
