The Active Owners Initiative focuses broadly on the importance of transparency and accountability in governance – whether within the board room or on Capitol Hill. This group uses educational programs, network building, and cross-sector collaboration to raise the level of discourse and action among investors committed to using their asset ownership as a tool to support and strengthen a true democracy. From established investing strategies such as shareholder resolutions and proxy voting, to emerging issues including campaign finance and corporate disclosure reform, the Active Owners Initiative creates a community of practice for bringing “dark money” to light.
