Corporate impact

A corporation's behavior can have a broad impact: on the lives of its workers and customers, on the political process in its home country and abroad, and on the fate of the environment. In each of these areas, a corporation's impact can ultimately affect its bottom line. Shareholder proposals in this area typically seek to increase disclosure about corporate behavior and raise the board's awareness of potential risks.
