Introduction
Sustainable investors are at the forefront of efforts to improve the working conditions in global supply chains, resource extraction practices, international and domestic human rights, and fair labor practices.
Priority Areas of Action
Pay Ratio Rule: Public companies should be required to disclose the ratio of the median of the annual total compensation of all employees compared to the annual total compensation of the chief executive officer. This measure allows investors to make informed investment decisions and vote their proxies with an understanding of a company's approach to CEO compensation.
Conflict Mineral Rule and Supply Chain Transparency: Sustainable investors value responsible management of global supply chain risks. Particularly, stakeholders are concerned with the role of four minerals, "conflict minerals," in funding violence. Through regulated disclosures, not only do companies and investors benefit, but we all indirectly contribute to a peaceful, prosperous, and stable conflict-free minerals trade in central Africa, protecting human rights in the global supply chains of US companies.
Minimum Wage: The US cannot solve economic inequality until it addresses fundamental socioeconomic inequality. The United States must move to a minimum wage of at least $15 an hour. A $15 minimum wage is either in place or required by a future date in cities and states, including Seattle, San Francisco, New York and New York City, and California.
Paid Sick Leave: Attention to worker health is an essential component of a healthy and resilient economy. Mandated paid sick leave is a realistic public policy objective, as evidenced by the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA), signed into law on March 18, 2020. Lessons learned from the FFCRA should be used to structure a permanent paid leave law.
