Abstract

This article, titled “Shareholder Proposals on Climate Change and Environment,” investigates the effectiveness and impact of shareholder proposals in driving corporate climate change mitigation and environmental sustainability. The research addresses the key issues of proposal success rates, the influence of collaborative engagement, and the financial and operational outcomes for companies. It analyzes voting records, engagement outcomes, corporate sustainability reports, and financial performance metrics to assess the efficacy of these proposals in promoting environmental accountability and long-term corporate value.The main findings indicate a significant shift in investor priorities, with environmental and social (E&S) proposals outnumbering governance and compensation requests over the past few years.
