Corporate governance & shareholder advocacy
SGI members safeguard the right to be active corporate owners and view shareholder advocacy as a cornerstone of corporate democracy. We promote governance practices that increase transparency, accountability, and long-term value while reducing reputational and legal risks.
There is power in regular dialogue with companies and having a voice inside the corporate boardroom. SGI equips its members with the resources needed to make their voices heard and promote change at the top of a company.
We support corporate governance policies that promote long-term, sustainable shareholder value with corporate social responsibility. Members typically address these issues through their proxy voting; weighing in on both shareholder and management proposals. These governance-level efforts affect all of our environmental and social advocacy, enhancing shareholder input into corporate practices and improving oversight and transparency.
Since 2011, investors have sought increased disclosure and transparency by companies of their lobbying activities, oversight and expenditures, with over 500 shareholder resolutions filed asking for lobbying disclosure and expenditures.
