Guide: De typiske aktionærforslag indenfor CSR

Den amerikanske tænketank Conference Board har udgivet en rapport (gratis ved signup) med titlen ”Shareholder Proposals on Social and Environmental Issues” som gennemgår de typisk aktionærforslag indenfor CSR og Political Spending: ”Political spending and climate change, key topics during the 2014 proxy season, are expected to feature heavily again in 2015 shareholder proposals. This report reviews the content of the social and environmental proposals voted on most frequently by shareholders of Russell 3000 companies during the 2014 season, including the topics that received the highest average shareholder support. It also provides examples of proposal text and sponsor supporting statements, as well as board responses and related corporate disclosure. Nearly 40 percent of all shareholder proposals submitted at Russell 3000 companies that held meetings during the first half of 2014 were related to social and environmental policy issues, up from 29.2 percent in 2010, as documented in Proxy Voting Analytics (2010-2014). Social and environmental policy proposals now represent the second largest category of the subjects in terms of both the number submitted and the number voted, narrowly behind corporate governance.”
