Promoting Corporate Responsibility through Shareholder Activism

Is the Supreme Court’s decision to treat corporations as “persons” a debacle for democracy — or an opportunity for corporate social responsibility?  What tools can investors utilize to encourage corporations to be transparent about political spending and board oversight?  Our panel will explore these questions and discuss the role shareholders can play in promoting greater corporate responsibility and sustainability.

The process of Shareholder Activism is an important force in helping to improve corporate governance and promote greater social and environmental responsibility.  Active shareholders use the power of stock ownership to create positive social change and believe that the investment performance of all companies can be enhanced through closer attention to environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks and opportunities.

Panel:
Bob Helmuth, Senior Vice President, Stakeholder Relations, Pax World
Lincoln Pain, CFP®, AIF®, Effective Assets
Allan Moskowitz, CFP®, AIF®, Progressive Wealth Management
Amy Galland, Research Director, As You Sow

Moderator: Justin Martello, CFP®, Effective Assets
