Shareholders rely on corporate engagement as a core tool to drive change in company practices. However promising, this strategy, along with divestment, has limitations when used by itself. Transform Finance is exploring more holistic approaches that harness new tools and financial innovations to drive capital for social change in the public markets.
One such approach is being pioneered by Majority Action. They create a bridge and partner with both investors and advocacy organizations, weaving together investigative research, digital strategies, and investor activism into comprehensive campaigns to tackle inequality, climate change, and human rights abuses.
In this webinar, Eli Kasargod-Staub of Majority Action will provide an overview of their unique take on shareholder activism and reclaiming the power of the ordinary investor, sharing the details of the organization's inaugural campaigns at gun manufacturers Sturm Ruger and Smith & Wesson.
