Corporate Citizenship
Project

The Corporate Citizenship Project is a 501(c)(4) non-profit, non-partisan advocacy organization. The Project exists to prevent environmental, social, and governance standards from influencing the investment of public funds. The organization works with state financial officers to ensure states make investment decisions based on returns, not political agendas.

The Project advocates using alternatives to the two dominant proxy advisors, Institutional Shareholder Services and Glass Lewis, that impose their harmful ESG-driven voting practices on the shareholder votes of state investments.

The Project promotes two solutions:

  1. Replace existing proxy advisors with alternatives that prohibit shareholder voting influenced by ESG considerations.
  2. Alert state financial officers to upcoming shareholder votes exhibiting ESG bias so its influence can be opposed.

The Project seeks the commitment of state financial officers to institute at least one of these solutions to end ESG bias in the investment of public funds.
