Shareholder Advocacy Video: Amplifying Affected Communities' Perspectives
One way that investors can create positive impact is by using their platforms to amplify the perspectives of communities disproportionately affected by corporation actions. Trillium has used institutional capabilities for more than 40 years to focus corporate attention on diverse stakeholder voices, like in the case of the Gwich’in people in 2022 and 2023.
While small-cap stocks were hard hit during the first half of 2022, August’s earnings season revealed a bounce back for the asset class. What does this mean for Trillium’s ESG Small/Mid Cap Core Portfolio?
Dear U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator and Members of Congress,
Trillium’s Shareholder Advocacy Team aims to create positive impact by using our platform as institutional investors to amplify the perspectives of communities disproportionately affected by corporate actions. In 2022 and 2023, we sought to focus the attention of portfolio holding company, The Travelers Companies, on the concerns of the Gwich’in, an Indigenous people living in Alaska and Canada who were requesting Travelers not insure oil and gas projects in the Coastal Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. After ignoring their request, Trillium took this controversy to a shareholder proposal.
