Responsible Wealth 2013 Shareholder Resolutions

In reponse to the 2010 Citizens United decision, Responsible Wealth has focused its shareholder activism on pushing companies to publicly disclose their political contributions. In the fall of 2012, Responsible Wealth members filed shareholder resolutions with CBS, Motorola, Biogen Idec, and Corning asking for full public disclosure of their political contributions. Resolutions filed at Target and Bank of America asked those companies to study and report to shareholders on the feasibility of completely desisting from political spending.

To date, over half of the S&P 100 have agreed to disclosed their political contributions and implement broad oversight, including Aflac, Merck, Microsoft, and Wells Fargo.
