The term ESG is shorthand for an investment approach that prioritizes environmental, social, and governance issues.
It represents the idea that investors should buy shares in companies that factor social and environmental issues into their decision-making on the theory that such companies are more likely to prosper in the long run.
The report counted 355 such proposals as of February 21 , compared to 536 proposals filed by the same time last year .
22 percent of ESG-related shareholder proposals were withdrawn as of February 21 , compared to 7.7 percent at a similar time in 2024 .
Some companies have grown more willing to engage in dialogue with investors, perhaps hoping to avoid the publicity generated by a proxy vote.
However, companies have also been emboldened to ignore shareholder proposals.
