Shareholder resolutions are one of the most powerful campaign tactics at our disposal.
If you register your interest today, you'll be the first to know how to get involved in influencing some of the world’s biggest companies during the next campaign season (November-January).
What is a shareholder resolution?
We use the power of individual shareholders to put a formal vote on the agenda at the annual general meeting of companies on key issues. To file a resolution, we need the help of 100 people who agree to ‘co-file’ with us alongside a number of large investors, such as a pension fund.
What will you need to do?
To co-file a resolution, you will need to own just one share in the target company.
Once you have this, you need to spend a bit of time completing some paperwork online.
There are two different routes you can go down to purchase a share from an investment platform to be able to co-file – you can get a certificated share, or a share held in a nominee service. Certificated shares are more expensive but the process is easier, whereas shares held with a broker involve some additional steps.
Either way, we’ll share information along the way on how you can get involved.
