More Shareholders Vote Green

Shareholder activism is motivating US companies to address environmental concerns, according to The Corporate Library's report "The Environmental Agenda Heats Up – Trends in Environmental Shareholder Proposals". In 2007, shareholders voted on 69 percent more environment-related proposals than they did in 2005. “This increased level of support means that companies can no longer afford to dismiss the environment as a fringe concern,” says research associate Sasha Pagella, author of the report. The risks to companies that ignore shareholder interests are also covered in the report. “Perhaps the growth in the number of withdrawn resolutions for 2008 is an indication that this is beginning to happen,” adds Pagella.
