This is far too many characters above Lemmy's post limit - so please check out this resource on WhyDRS.org! Would be glad to talk in more detail in the comments. Let's work with our companies and make them better!
Advocacy and Corporate Governance: An Overview
Corporations constantly make decisions about operating procedures, corporate compensation, environmental policies, and much more. As a registered shareholder, you have a legally protected avenue and platform to communicate directly with boards of directors. Your proposal can open a conversation about an issue which matters to you.
Publicly traded U.S. securities are run by an elected board of directors, which have a fiduciary duty to make decisions and propose plans which benefit investors. The company has distributed ownership among investors, including beneficial shareholders maintaining an account with a Broker, and directly registered shareholders which hold shares in their name on the issuer’s ledger with the Transfer Agent.
