SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT OF OUR INVESTMENTS: ENGAGEMENT EFFORTS
ENGAGING BY VOTING PROXIES
Riverwater votes proxies in accordance with our Proxy Voting Guidelines9 that favor management and shareholder resolutions that align with our ESG views. In 2020, Riverwater voted 99% of its proxies (one was received too late to vote). Our voting record is public.
When Riverwater votes against the Company - by voting against a Board proposal or in favor of a Shareholder proposal the board opposes - we write to the board stating our rationale and inviting dialogue. Riverwater wrote to Boards of Directors on 48 “no” votes during 2020; Board members wrote back regarding five items.
