Shareholder activism
Description
One of the most surprising aspects of 21st-century capitalism is the emergence of shareholders who are concerned about corporate behavior and accountability. This program investigates that trend, assembling a collection of researchers and business leaders who share valuable insights into shareholder activism. Alisa Gravitz, executive director of Co-op America, and Linda Crompton, CEO of the Investor Responsibility Research Center, recount past and ongoing examples of divestment-driven political change. California State Treasurer Phil Angelides discusses the investment strategy of the Green Wave Initiative, while Roberta Karp, Senior VP of Liz Claiborne, describes shareholder involvement in factory monitoring policies.
