For many companies the 2024 financial year ended on 31 December 2024. With the end of the financial year, it is once again time to prepare for the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM), which takes place every year. By law, the AGM must take place within the first 6 months of the new financial year. For companies whose financial year ends on 31 December, this period therefore runs until 30 June. The Board of Directors is responsible for convening and organising the AGM. It must pass the necessary resolutions and make the necessary preparations so that the AGM can pass valid resolutions. This article addresses selected aspects of the preparation and organisation of the AGM of companies whose annual financial statements are subject to audit.

The Swiss Federal Council has proposed new sustainability reporting requirements to align with EU regulations, set to take effect in 2026. These new requirements will substantially expand the scope of companies required to report on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters, introduce stricter disclosure standards, and mandate transition plans for net-zero emissions. Meanwhile, the European Commission has proposed significant reductions in sustainability reporting obligations under the CSRD and the CSDDD, which could influence Switzerland’s final implementation of its own framework.
