Un bel exemple d’activisme en matière de RSE
« Amnesty International: Shareholder Activist » publié sur Human Rights Now Blog offre un bel exemple d’un activisme à vocation sociétalement responsable. Qui a dit que l’activisme était nécessairement court-termiste ? Reste tout de même à savoir si cet activisme fait avancer les choses…
This week, Amnesty International USA joined the New York State Comptroller, Thomas DiNapoli, in filing a shareholder resolution at Chevron Corporation. The resolution asks the company to appoint a board member with expertise in the impact on communities and the environment of its oil and gas extraction operations.
For over a decade, Amnesty International USA has retained a small amount of Chevron stock and other corporations for the purpose of engaging in shareholder activism. Owning this stock allows Amnesty International USA to join with other shareholders in filing resolutions and speaking out at corporate annual shareholder meetings. Our shareholder activism has given us the opportunity to advocate for human rights with companies, including ExxonMobil, Yahoo, and Dow Chemical.
À la prochaine…
