In a step in the right direction, some shareholders are pushing energy companies to do more in terms of at the very least disclosing environmental plans and progress. Ceres, an advocate for sustainability leadership that gathers investors, companies, and public interest groups in that common goal, announced some shareholder resolutions filed at major power companies at the end of February. For example, New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, trustee of the $150 billion New York State Common Retirement Fund, is taking the lead on filing resolutions with major power providers like Ameren Corp (NYSE: AEE ), FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE), and DTE Energy Co (NYSE: DTE ). These resolutions urge the companies to work on boosting energy efficiency and renewable energy. The shareholder resolutions are timely, too, given recent moves by these companies.
