Dear John,

Far too few people are aware of the power of shareholder advocacy to change corporate behavior, and even fewer know they can actually help make that change happen. Today, As You Sow is a growing force for good, because of you – you are behind one of the world’s most powerful tools for making systemic change. Thank you for being the reason progress continues.
  • In 2023, over 70% of the 210 companies As You Sow  engaged took positive action. Investors voted almost $2 trillion in value in favor of our shareholder resolutions.
  • We called on five of the largest U.S. banks to disclose how they will achieve their net zero targets, and on ExxonMobil and Chevron for more accurate reporting on emissions targets.

  • Fourteen companies committed to adopt net-zero-aligned goals, establish interim science-based reduction targets, and/or advance emissions data.
  • We published ten original reports holding companies to account on their promises and public statements.

Our work is far from over. We’re facing climate catastrophe, massive plastic pollution, toxification, skyrocketing CEO pay, and systemic racism. And now, attacks against As You Sow from the U.S. House Judiciary Committee as well as red state Attorneys General and Treasurers. 

The stakes are high, but so is our momentum. The potential to make systemic change has never been greater, and we’re doing it, thanks to you. Together, this small but powerful community is sending the message that corporations can and must be a part of creating a safe, just, and sustainable world. As we prepare to begin the new year, we’re proud to have your support.

Thanks for being such an important part of our community.

For the future,
