Right in the middle of proxy season, we are thrilled to welcome a few new Advocates on the site. Here’s the rookie lineup straight from MoxyVote’s blog:
- Bill Davis is an independent shareholder activist who works to address corporate governance issues and increase shareholder involvement. Davis was recently nominated for a lifetime achievement award by the Social Investment Organization for his shareholder engagement and advocacy efforts. Be sure to read his resolution at Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CM).
- NorthStar Asset Management, a Boston based SRI asset management firm, files and supports shareholder resolutions focused on corporate governance practices, corporate environmental policies, and diversity and anti-discrimination efforts within the workplace. Be sure to check out their human rights resolution at Ecolab (ECL).
- The Center for Social Philanthropy (C-SocPhil) provides innovative research, resources, and tools to encourage long-term social and environmental philanthropic impact. They’re supporting shareholder resolutions to encourage individuals and larger organizations to vote for initiatives that support their socially responsible outlook.
- FreedomWorks is headquartered in Washington, DC and works with hundreds of thousands of grassroots volunteers nationwide. Through their volunteer activist network, FreedomWorks engages in activities that promote individual liberty through decreased government involvement and corporate initiative. Be sure to check out their opinions for resolutions on the Duke (DUK), General Electric (GE), and Pfizer (PFE) ballots.
- PAX World Investments has several mutual funds geared toward SRI and ESG investing. Through their proxy voting and advocacy efforts, PAX World supports shareholder initiatives focused on corporate social responsibility and sustainability efforts. Keep an eye out for future ballots with PAX World’s vote recommendations.
Florida SBA has also been added to the mix at MoxyVote and that’s critically important because they are the 4th largest public pension fund in the United States and they own a little bit of thousands of companies. Now, when you turn to MoxyVote for voting advice they won’t just have one advocate’s position on one issue on your ballot. You’ll also get voting advice on directors and corporate sponsored measures at most of the companies you might own.
I’m glad to see the growing lineup. Please keep in mind, if you don’t find the advice you need on MoxyVote, you can always go to ProxyDemocracy.org to find more advice from institutional investors. Then you can come back and vote with Moxy.
