Stop the SEC from undermining shareholder rights
Clean Yield is joining with other investors and our friends at Green America to urge the SEC to uphold the shareholder resolution process as it stands. Doing so will ensure that there continues to be a channel for investors, big and small, to raise important environmental and social issues with companies. The shareholder resolution process has been critical in nudging companies to adopt greenhouse gas emissions goals, disclose their political contributions and lobbying, and make workplaces more inclusive. Currently, the SEC is trying to change the rules of the game. These proposed changes could weaken the ability of shareholders like Clean Yield to raise these critical issues and hold corporations accountable. We have written about our support of the Shareholder Rights Group and our efforts to educate staffers on Capitol Hill about shareholder rights in the past.
We invite you to join Clean Yield and many others in letting the SEC know that the shareholder proposal process works and should not be changed. Click this link to sign the letter to the SEC that Green America will submit on behalf of signers.
Now, more than ever, we must hold corporations accountable. Join us in reminding the SEC that it serves to protect the interests of investors, not corporations.
