Dear Green American,
Shareholder season is upon us! Spring is when most publicly traded US companies hold annual investor meetings - and when shareholders can vote their proxy ballots on a wide range of social, environmental, and sustainable governance issues.
This year more than 500 resolutions affecting people and planet have been filed on such crucial issues as greenhouse gas emissions, animal agriculture, plastic pollution, workplace diversity, labor rights, human rights, reproductive health, gender and racial pay disparity, executive pay, corporate lobbying, and - new this year - artificial intelligence.
If you own stock directly (not through a mutual fund or ETF), the proxy ballot(s) you receive may include votes on issues like these that you won’t want to miss. The proxy ballot is your opportunity - and responsibility - to vote in line with your values.
Vote Your Values
Green America has identified dozens of shareholder resolutions at major corporations so you can see how shareholders are urging companies to improve their conduct -- for people, the planet, and long-term value.
