Ethical Shareholder Initiative (ESI) Details
The Ethical Shareholder Initiative (ESI) is an independent, nonprofit project of the Center for Transformative Action that believes shareholders can be a positive force for business. At ESI, we seek to develop that potential, and help corporations shift their focus from short-term financial results to ensuring better long-term returns and greater benefits for consumers, employees, communities, and the planet. Ethical shareholders can play a critical role in helping corporations play a positive role in our society and economy. By inspiring, informing, and amplifying the voices of real shareholders, ESI helps corporations serve our real values.ESI was founded in 2015 by Cornell Professor Lynn Stout (an internationally-recognized expert in corporate governance and business ethics) along with co-founder Tamara Belinfanti, a professor at New York Law School with proven expertise in corporate governance and the proxy advisory industry.
