Commitment to Shareholder Engagement

An example of VegTechtm Invest's commitment to impact investing is their recent report, co-authored with Harvard University students, investigating the best practices for shareholder engagement that can help to protect the climate, biodiversity, and animal welfare, and promote the use of plant-based innovation for sustainable consumption. 

The report, due out in July, focuses on current shareholder advocacy tactics that have been effective or not in promoting corporate change, and suggests tactics for shareholders going forward. Additionally, the report touches on protecting the environment through shifting towards plant-based innovation.

"This project has been an immensely unique and rewarding experience. I speak on behalf of the team when I say that we are grateful for the numerous sources outlined to us by Dr. Goodman to use in constructing our research. The Harvard-VegTechtm team is excited to publish this study. We hope that this report can help individuals better understand how shareholder engagement can be an effective tool for promoting sustainability and animal welfare," states Team Secretary Masha Geguchadze.
