Shareholder demand for more transparency of corporate political spending account for almost a third of the resolutions filed. Proposals related to climate change and energy account for about another 40%. Human rights and diversity in the workplace make up much of the rest. Proxy Preview provides analysis and expert insight to help you navigate the issues and successfully vote your shares.
