Data-Driven Engagement Strategies Powered by ICCR’s Shareholder Exchange
How can investors more effectively track the impact of their corporate engagements?
How can investors identify which strategies are most successful in achieving progress on ESG issues?
These are the two key questions investors ask when evaluating the impact of their corporate engagements. ICCR’s Shareholder Exchange (ShareEx) — ICCR’s members’-only engagement platform — helps provide the answers, through comprehensive tracking, benchmarking, evaluation and reporting. ShareEx offers ICCR members detailed company, issue, and engagement-specific data including three decades of resolutions at hundreds of companies on a range of ESG topics.
ShareEx tracks investor actions and their outcomes dating back to the early 70s and is searchable by company, resolution text, and issue. It is the most comprehensive and detailed historical data set for the shareholder advocacy movement in the United States.
