The Shareholder Association for Research and Education (SHARE) is a social enterprise that coordinates and implements responsible investment practices. Since its creation in 2000, SHARE has carried out this mandate by providing active ownership services, including proxy voting and shareholder engagement services as well as education, policy advocacy and practical research on emerging responsible investment issues.

SHARE is dedicated to improving institutional investment practices that protect the long-term interests of investors, working people, communities and society in general. By implementing responsible investment policies, institutional investors play an important role in building a healthy economy, society and environment – elements that are essential for long-term investment returns and a high quality of life.

SHARE provides leadership around responsible investment both nationally and internationally. SHARE is a signatory to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI) and participates on the Stakeholder Council of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). SHARE also coordinates the Secretariat of the Global Unions Committee on Workers Capital (CWC).
