Shareholder Rights in Israel

March 24th, 2007 | Categories: SRI | Tags: Israel, shareholders

I have been searching for the most effective way to establish SRI in Israel for many years. Unfortunately there are many barriers to SRI in Israel. Probably the most significant is the lack of an awareness of Shareholder rights. Israelis are used to thinking about the stock market more as a casino and less as an economic system for allowing small investors to become capital owners. One topic which may change all that is the divest from Iran campaign Bibi Netanyahu is heading up. I congratulate him for stepping up to the plate on this issue and hope that the media will be kind enough to provide him with a podium from which to communicate with the Israeli public. The previous post is an excellent article describing Netanyahu’s campaign.
