Sponsorships for social licence
Companies are spending shareholder funds on sponsorships to buy acceptance and enhance reputation. The payments can cause a flip in the community mindset to view sponsorship as a calculated and cynical pay-off.
What We Do:
After you register, we take care of the rest. We conduct research, engage with companies and affected communities and put forward proposals to these companies with our registered shareholders.
The Shareholder Resolution:
Once the resolution gets put on the notice of the meeting, all shareholders have the opportunity to consider the resolution and we’ll speak to it at the annual general meeting.
Impact:
We let you know what we’ve been able to achieve with the resolution and the next steps for ongoing engagement with the company.
