CCSR annual report now available

The 2008 annual report of the Corporation Committee on Shareholder Responsibility (CCSR), a subcommittee of the President and Fellows, is now available upon request from the Office for the Committees on shareholder responsibility. To obtain a copy, e-mail Cheryl Thurman atcheryl_thurman@harvard.edu or call the office at (617) 495-0985.

The report provides a detailed description of the CCSR’s actions on shareholder proposals, raising issues of social responsibility that came to vote during the 2008 spring proxy voting season (the period between March and June when most publicly traded corporations hold annual meetings). The CCSR receives advice from the Advisory Committee on Shareholder Responsibility (ACSR), a 12-member committee made up of Harvard faculty, students, and alumni.
