  • Pension Fund Leaders Term Corporate Board Diversification ‘Unacceptably Slow,’ Call for Increased Attention from Investors, Corporate Boards
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PR16:21 Contact: Marc Lifsher June 1, 2016 [email protected] 916-653-2995 Pension Fund Leaders Term Corporate Board Diversification ‘Unacceptably Slow,’ Call for Increased Attention From Investors, Corporate Boards California State Treasurer John Chiang joins group of fiduciaries from funds with more than $1 trillion under management SACRAMENTO – California State Treasurer John Chiang today joined a group of state and local officials who contend that corporate boards have been too slow to diversify their ranks and that institutional investors should increase their focus on board diversity as a corporate governance priority. The joint statement emphasizes that racial and LGBT diversity as well as gender diversity are critical dimensions of effective board composition and performance. “There is broad agreement that a diverse corporate board is good for business,” Treasurer Chiang said. “Boards with directors, who possess a wide range of skills and experiences, are better positioned to oversee company strategy, risk mitigation and management performance.” Statistics show that board diversification has been slow—or has even regressed. White directors hold 85 percent of the board seats at the largest 200 S&P 500 companies, and the percentage of those boards with exclusively white directors has increased over the last decade. Men occupy 80 percent of all S&P 500 board seats. It is also estimated that there are fewer than 10 openly lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender directors among Fortune 500 companies. The 14 co-signers, many of them longtime leaders on the issue of board diversity, are fiduciaries for pension funds responsible for the retirement security of six million participants and with more than $1 trillion in assets under management.

  • American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) in Support of Proposed Regulation
    July 30, 2020 Mr. James A. DeWitt Office of Regulations and Interpretations Employee Benefits Security Administration Room N-5655 U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Ave., NW Washington, DC 20210 Re: RIN 1210-AB95, Financial Factors in Selecting Plan Investments; Comments of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) in support of proposed regulation Dear Mr. DeWitt, The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) submits these comments in support of a regulation proposed under Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The proposed regulation would confirm that EIRSA requires plan fiduciaries to select investments and investment courses of actions based solely on pecuniary considerations relevant to the risk-adjusted economic value of a particular investment or investment course of action. The proposal would clarify that “investment behaviors, such as socially responsible investing, sustainable and responsible investing, environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) investing, and economically targeted investing”1 fall outside of the pecuniary requirements mandated by ERISA. ALEC supports the proposed regulation and recommends that the Department of Labor, through the Employee Benefits Security Administration, adopt it. This recommendation follows ALEC research and analysis on public pension investments, which offer counterfactuals of what happens when divestments occur due to environmental or social reasons rather than pecuniary concerns. Individual investors can assume higher financial

  • 2008 Verizon Political Contributions Report
    VERIZON POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS JANUARY – DECEMBER 2008 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2008 1 A Message from Tom Tauke Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies — from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more — that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 25 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions and corporate political contributions made by Verizon in 2008. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners.

  • The Historic Campaign for Corporate Political Spending Disclosure
    September 14, 2016 www.citizen.org The Historic Campaign for Corporate Political Spending Disclosure Acknowledgments This report was written by Lisa Gilbert, director of the Congress Watch division of Public Citizen, and Congress Watch democracy associate Rachel Curley. About Public Citizen Public Citizen is a national non-profit organization with more than 350,000 members and supporters. We represent consumer interests through lobbying, litigation, administrative advocacy, research, and public education on a broad range of issues including consumer rights in the marketplace, product safety, financial regulation, worker safety, safe and affordable health care, campaign finance reform and government ethics, fair trade, climate change, and corporate and government accountability. Public Citizen’s Congress Watch 215 Pennsylvania Ave. S.E Washington, D.C. 20003 P: 202-546-4996 F: 202-547-7392 http://www.citizen.org © 2016 Public Citizen. Public Citizen The Historic Campaign for Corporate Political Spending Disclosure Since the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United v. FEC came down in 2010, corporations have been allowed to spend unlimited undisclosed amounts of money to influence American elections and in turn affect policy outcomes. Noting the danger of “dark money” for both American democracy and the shareholders of the companies that are spending in secret, a strong coalition of diverse allies have been working together since the decision to bring corporate spending in politics into the light. BACKGROUND In 2011 a bipartisan committee of leading corporate and securities law professors filed the first petition requesting a rulemaking at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requiring all public companies to disclose their political expenditures.1 This rulemaking was placed on the agency’s agenda in 2013 by the agency’s former chair Mary Schapiro, but it was removed by the current chair Mary Jo White in 2014.

  • June 1, 2015 Datuk Darrel Webber, Secretary General Roundtable On
    June 1, 2015 Datuk Darrel Webber, Secretary General Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil C/O RSPO Secretariat Sdn Bdh Unit A-33A-2, Tower A, Level 33A Menara UOA Bangsar No. 5 Jln Bangsar Utama 1 59000 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Dear Mr. Webber: We, the undersigned companies and investors representing $5 trillion in assets under management, believe that sourcing palm oil that has been responsibly and sustainably produced is important to protect both consumer and producer companies’ operations, reputations, and market access. As an international certification scheme, the RSPO is uniquely positioned to support, promote, and enforce the widespread uptake of responsible and sustainable production practices across the palm oil industry. Given current shortcomings of RSPO certification, however, purchasing RSPO Certified Sustainable Palm Oil (CSPO) does not sufficiently address critical sustainability concerns in the palm oil supply chain. We are, therefore, writing to urge the RSPO to strengthen its standards and practices to reflect best practices widely recognized as necessary to ensure palm oil is produced in a manner that does not degrade the environment or result in violations of human rights. Companies that purchase palm oil certified by the RSPO do so out of concern that conventional palm oil production is too often associated with adverse environmental and social impacts. Unfortunately, the RSPO currently does not include protections for some of the most critical externalities of palm oil production, such as conversion of High Carbon Stock forests and expansion on peatlands, nor provide sufficient assurance that its standards are being complied with. Consequently, many companies across the palm oil supply chain have voluntarily adopted their own sourcing standards that go beyond those set by the RSPO, to ensure responsible and sustainable palm oil production.

  • Policy Brief April 7, 2009
    Policy Brief April 7, 2009 Contact: Garrett Wozniak (302) 290-7880 ACCOUNTABILITY BEGINS NOW How Transparency Leads to Better Government Do Delawareans deserve to know where their tax dollars go? Assessing the state legislature’s resistance to expanding the Freedom of Information Act to include the General Assembly; placing inflated price tags on transparency legislation; and the continued resistance to reforming state government practices all indicate that many in our government answer emphatically, NO. Over the past several years, open government legislation has gained notoriety and bi-partisan support across the nation. Delaware, with the exception of the posting of General Assembly votes online and the streaming of House proceedings, has lagged behind. Thus far in 2009, the General Assembly has introduced the following transparency bills: House Bill 89 – This act would require information concerning the distributions from the Delaware Strategic Fund to be posted on the Delaware Economic Development Office’s website. House Bill 87 – This act would require each school district and charter school to post its checking account activity (other than payroll checks) on its website. It would also require that salary and benefits to be posted by job title at the beginning of each fiscal year. House Bill 90 – This act would require the creation of a searchable budget database website to allow taxpayers to access details of how their tax dollars are being spent. House Bill 86 – This bill would require each state agency to post its checking account activity (other than payroll checks) on its website. It would further require salary and benefits to be posted by job title at the beginning of each fiscal year.
