A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

This policy by rule rejects proposals based on environmental, social, or political considerations unless they directly contribute to revenue generation at the company receiving the proposal.

The fact that it exists and they're making a whole thing of letting you opt out of doing that, tells you a lot about what the standard practice in the industry is.

None of them look super good though

Yeah there's no option for genuine environmental or social activism, just one that follows some other investment company's ostensibly ethical voting strategy. Again, this speaks TONS about the Epstein class running these funds, that they're scared that giving such an option might result in people actually taking it.
