Climate-related shareholder engagement strategies have made a big impact on corporate behavior this past year. Exxon’s board turnover, Blackrock’s response to Net Zero Goals, and mounting pressure on big banks are signs that active shareholder communication plays an important role in accelerating the transition to a low carbon economy. And yet many investors remain skeptical about the value of active ownership. Confluence and Whistle Stop Capital are in the process of exploratory research about why that is. Join Meredith Benton and our speakers for a spirited discussion about some of the active ownership campaigns in play and what we are learning as a community. Group discussion will be encouraged for this virtual Coffee Klatsch.
