Seeds of Change, Winter 2023

The oil lobby, the far right, and corporations unwilling to accept and adapt to changing times are attacking shareholder advocacy and sustainable investing.

They’re seeking to stop, and even reverse, progress on climate change and social justice.

Why? Because shareholders are making a difference. Because investing with an ESG lens is making a difference.

The furious attacks are proof positive of the power of shareholders and ESG investors. The right is fighting environmental and social progress with reactionary laws, obsessively profossil fuel and anti-ESG messaging, and even Congressional investigations.

Shareholders are paying attention and are ready and able to use their power and responsibility to secure action that supports a livable planet.
