Our Mission
Our Mission is to create a sustainable system that holds corporations accountable to shareholders, communities and other stakeholders throughout the world.
To do this, ProxyAnalyst educates investors about their rights and duties to monitor and make change in the corporations in which they are invested. ProxyAnalyst follows the important corporate governance and shareholder votes arising at public companies. We identify the important issues that affect investors with the aim of improving corporate conduct, its impact on our capital markets and our society. Finally, we help investors make a difference by providing tools for making needed change in corporations so that short-term profit taking at all costs is no longer the norm.
