Long History of Shareholder Advocacy  

Harrington Investments, Inc. (HII) has been actively engaged in shareholder advocacy for 25 years. During this time, we have worked to persuade more than 120 publicly traded corporations to increase their economic, social and environmental accountability and responsibility

HII's founder, John Harrington, has been involved in the socially responsible investment movement for over 35 years, beginning as a staff member in the California Legislature working to end South African apartheid. His first shareholder resolutions were introduced in the early 1970's at Del Monte and Chevron corporations seeking information on the corporations' economic involvement in the then white minority-ruled country

Investor Environmental Health Network (IEHN)

HII is currently a member of Investors Environmental Health Network, a collative partnership of investment managers seeking to remove toxic hazards from the market place. Through IEHN we are working to coordinate our shareholder advocacy on product safety with other with institutional investors.

Our goal is to advance a program of identifying existing and potentially dangerous products manufactured and sold by corporations that may cause immediate as well as long-term health problems for consumers. We believe that tainted products not only negatively affect consumer’s lives, but also create a financial and legal liability for corporations that eventually erodes shareholder value.
