The Woodcock Foundation's broadly diversified public equity portfolio strategically leverages the tools of divestment and shareholder engagement. The portfolio divests from private prisons operations & lending, carbon reserves, fracking, tar sands, oil & gas and consumable fuels, predatory lending, animal testing (non-pharmaceutical), civilian arms production, anti-LGBTQ policy companies, fertilizer & agricultural chemicals, and more.
Woodcock leverages its stock ownership by using both proxy voting and shareholder resolutions to influence company decision making. Greater corporate transparency can reduce risk to a company’s brand and profits and ultimately shareholder value. For example, Woodcock sponsored a resolution with Conagra in partnership with As You Sow requesting greater disclosure of pesticide use in their agricultural supply chains. The resolution was successful in spurring change and was withdrawn after Conagra and shareholders came to an agreement. The company agreed to undertake a series of actions to assess and reduce risk related to supply chain pesticides, including establishing goals for risk reduction related to biodiversity loss, soil erosion, and water quality in its supply chains; conducting research on supplier pesticide use patterns and outlining strategies for pesticide risk reduction; and disclosing details of crop-specific sustainability programs for supply chains in its Bird's Eye product line.
The Woodcock Foundation also invests with active managers that are committed to engagement as a tool for strengthening financial performance along with positive impact across environmental, social, and governance factors.
