FT calls for direct shareholder votes on climate change
Original: It’s time to give individual shareholders direct votes on climate change
The Financial Times argues that individual retail shareholders should be given direct votes on corporate climate policy, rather than relying on proxy advisers and institutional investors to represent their interests. The paper says giving small investors a direct say would make companies more accountable on emissions and transition plans, and has prompted debate about how shareholder democracy on climate issues should work in practice.
Why now: The Financial Times editorial board has just published a proposal to change how shareholders influence corporate climate policy.
