It's shareholder action season, a time when shareholders are invited to provide direction for the companies through the proxy-voting process. If you own shares in a corporation, you can vote directly to let management know how you want them to run the company.
Green America's proxy ballot recommendations can help to guide your voting. We've reviewed 72 separate shareholder resolutions and made voting recommendations on issues like climate change, recycling, toxins in everyday products, corporate political spending, and executive compensation.
We've also teamed up with Moxy Vote, the free online proxy-voting platformthat allows shareholders to vote their proxy ballots easily and electronically. We've organized our recommendations into charts on our Web site which will link through to MoxyVote for voting as the proxy ballots become available during the spring and summer.
Take a look at all our recommendations on shareholder resolutions here. Opportunities include a vote in April on responsible lending at Citigroup, nuclear power at GE and political spending at Hershey's. Get links to actions you can take for a greener economy, whether or not you own shares.
