The Hope

Return America’s companies to its free-market roots and conscientious capitalism. The genius of capitalism is that it requires businesses to do good things for society to make a profit.

The Boardroom Initiative, a collective of organizations, will focus on empowering shareholders, employees, and investors as we strengthen our consumer-driven economic democracy. Coalition partners will work to realign corporations with their core business goals through shareholder proposals, advancing viewpoint diversity on company boards, and utilizing digital channels to spread awareness of our mission.

Why It
Matters

Your 401k, and any personal investments you make could be tied into ESG. Millions of people invest in retirement accounts to have money to live on when they fully retire. Over the years, the hope is those retirement accounts become profitable as it will be your livelihood. Without the focus of providing, you, return on your investments; your future becomes uncertain. Credit score may soon become a thing of the past, and ESG score will become the new social currency.

“In the long run, ESG investors are likely to earn lower after-fee returns than non-esg investors.” – Meir Statman, Professor of Finance at Santa Clare University.
