The Shareholder Action Guide
(eBook)
Corporations are the most powerful entities on the planet. Unfortunately, many have long records of unprecedented and unbridled environmental degradation, social transgressions, and governance secrecy. But you can do something about it. Because public companies are beholden to their shareholders, if you own stock, you have influence. And even if you own shares in a mutual fund or invest through a workplace-sponsored retirement account or 401(k), you can press corporations to be accountable for their actions. Large institutional investors have been doing this for years, and shareholder advocate Andrew Behar shows how individuals can do it too! You don't have to attend a shareholder meeting to have a voice. If you own a single share of stock, you can use your proxy voting rights to weigh in on corporate policies via email, online, or by phone, and if you own a minimum of just $2,000 worth of stock, you can file a shareholder resolution or directly address the board of directors-Behar walks you through each process. If your investments are in your workplace-sponsored 401(k) or a mutual fund, Behar explains how you can identify which funds include corporations that engage in harmful practices and offers practical, step-by-step ways to work with your plan administrator or fund manager to find better alternatives. If this happens often enough, fund managers will start seeing these corporations as liabilities and remove them from the fund holdings-and the corporations will get the message. Illustrated with inspiring stories of individuals who have gone up against corporate Goliaths and won, this book is designed to inform, inspire, and instruct investors about how to exercise their power to change the world.
