Responsible Wealth: Corporate Accountability
CORPORATE ACCOUNTABILITY
Shareholder actions are a vital tool in raising awareness about the need for corporations to take into account the needs of shareholders and consider the company's larger role as a corporate citizen.
Since 1998, Responsible Wealth members have filed over 100 shareholder resolutions seeking to affect corporate behavior on a number of topics, including:
- Excessive CEO pay
- Race and gender discrimination in lending
- Gender discrimination in pay
- Living wages
- Holding a physical (vs. virtual) annual meeting
- The right of shareholders to vote on CEO compensation (“Say on Pay”)
- Public disclosure of political donations
