Shareholders file record number of climate change-related proposals this year
Proposals on climate change or energy are a common theme this proxy season -- the window after April 15 through June when the largest U.S. companies hold annual meetings and stockholders vote on proposals to change company policy. As of last month, shareholders of public U.S. companies have submitted slightly under 900 resolutions to public companies for this year's annual meetings, according to the Ernst & Young Center for Board Matters, which tracks proxy trends.
