Advisory — Expert Guidance from First-Hand Investor Experience

Our advisory team brings real-world investor engagement experience. Our advisors bring backgrounds in law, governance, sustainability, investor relations, and engagement.

We deliver investor-focused advisory on every project: what institutional investors want to see, how your peers are responding, and how to structure your disclosures to move markets in your favor.

All advisory improvements are integrated directly into your Workiva workspace — no separate deliverables, no re-keying, no format conversion.

Included in every advisory project:

  • Labrador’s unique Explore benchmarking tool
  • Reader Intelligence Guides with granular text and graphic research
  • Investor Expectations & Market Practice alignment
  • Peer Positioning and differentiation analysis
  • Strategic Messaging and narrative development
  • Disclosure Roadmap and post-project recommendations

The Labrador Advisory Framework

  • Impactful and cohesive. We ensure key themes related to strategy, performance, risk, governance, compensation, and sustainability are reflected clearly across your reporting suite.
  • Decision-Useful for Investors. We shape disclosures and presentation around investor voting guidelines and stewardship priorities so content is relevant and actionable.
  • Responsive to Feedback. We incorporate leading practices and prioritize the specific requests of your core stakeholder audiences.
  • AI Ready. We make disclosures more adaptable, readable, and usable for emerging technologies, including AI-powered investor tools.
  • Streamlined and Focused. We remove outdated, duplicative, or low-value content to elevate disclosure relevance and get ready for upcoming regulatory changes.
  • Visually Effective. We use design and graphics intentionally to reinforce key messages and make complex information easier to understand.
  • Readable and Easy to Navigate. We improve flow through clearer organization, simpler language, and more intuitive navigation so audiences can find and understand critical information.
  • Appropriately Positioned. We identify where to align with peers and market practice - and where to differentiate - in ways that strengthen your positioning.
  • Proactive. We anticipate likely areas of interest and scrutiny to provide thoughtful explanations and support more productive stakeholder engagement.
  • Resilient. We evolve sustainability disclosures in line with changing expectations, reporting frameworks, and company-specific circumstances.

Information Design — Pioneering Clarity in Corporate Disclosure

In 1992, Labrador pioneered information design for investor reporting. Since, we have designed proxy statements, annual reports, and sustainability reports for some of the most admired companies in the world.

Our information design framework is built around how investors and regulators read disclosures. The result is communication that communicates accurately, is faster to process (including for AI models) and more credible.

We also execute design natively in Workiva, purpose-built for easy editing, consistent brand application, and EDGAR-ready output across print and digital formats.

Reporting Awards since 2020:

  • 6 × “Best Proxy Statement” winners
  • 17 × nominees
  • 4 × “Best ESG Reporting” winners
  • 8 × nominees
