Corporate Accountability: Restoring the Balance
Corporate Accountability Facilitator: James McRitchie, Shareholder Advocate
Online Fridays, Oct 16, 23, 30; 12 to 1:30 pm
Classes are held using Zoom.
Corporations are the most powerful social invention for creating wealth. They can also ruin our environment and tear our social fabric. Even small shareholders can make corporations more accountable and sustainable, using the tools of democratic corporate governance and social media. This class/shared interest group will start with a mostly lecture format and will hopefully transition to a workshop format. We will discuss problems surrounding corporations and how those can be addressed (primarily by shareholders). Then we will move on to discuss possible campaigns to influence corporate behavior. Subgroups are possible, facilitated by Zoom rooms. We may continue our shared interest group beyond October 30, 2020, if there is interest.
