Jim McRitchie recently blogged about “Campaign GM” – a 1970 Ralph Nader-led shareholder proposal initiative and one of the earliest examples of shareholder ESG activism targeting a major corporation. The blog provides an overview of the campaign and discusses its long-term effects on governance at General Motors and its impact on the broader debate over corporate governance-related issues.  It’s a really interesting introduction to a piece of corporate history that I knew very little about. Check it out if you get a chance.
