Zevin's 2026 Impact Report documents two years of shareholder advocacy — resolutions filed, engagements pursued, votes cast, and outcomes across climate, human rights, governance, and corporate accountability. Read the full report and see where the work stands.
Q1 2026 Impact Update
Our Q1 2026 Impact Update covers a quarter defined by regulatory rollback and active ownership. We examine the SEC's quiet dismantling of corporate disclosure requirements, our ongoing shareholder engagements with Home Depot and Microsoft on data privacy and human rights, and three investor sign-on letters touching gender equity, platform worker rights, and due process. As regulatory oversight recedes, our job — asking hard questions and staying in the room — becomes more important, not less.
Q4 2025 Impact Update
As 2025 comes to a close, a throughline has emerged across our engagement work, policy analysis, and client conversations: power—who holds it, how it’s exercised, and how investors can insist on accountability when governance falls short. From the expanding surveillance economy to mounting pressure on shareholder rights, these dynamics are no longer theoretical. Below, we highlight our recent work and why it matters for long-term investors managing systemic risk.
Q3 2025 Impact Update
At Zevin Asset Management, we view our fiduciary duty to our clients as inseparable from our responsibilities as global citizens. Through this quarter’s update we hope to give our readers a window into how we continue to contribute to shaping a more sustainable and just economy while stewarding clients’ capital responsibly.
From Parking Lots to Police Databases: Home Depot’s Data Privacy Dilemma
Home Depot stores are an informal hub for day laborers and this summer became the sites of multiple ICE raids, putting workers and customers in danger. Home Depot’s partnership with Flock Safety, a private surveillance company whose automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras track vehicles and feed data into massive police databases have fueled these raids.
Q2 2025 Impact Update
Zevin Asset Management continues to be an active voice in corporate engagement and in joining public statements of solidarity with human rights groups and other stakeholders. At this moment in history, it is critical that we persist in raising issues directly with corporate executives and boards of directors.
We stepped up to voice the concerns of human rights advocates, employees, and investors at Alphabet’s annual shareholder meeting, focusing on the risks of AI use in conflict zones. We are also shedding light on contracted data workers as we engage in dialogue with Microsoft and Accenture. Additionally, we wrote to Apple to raise investor concerns about recent attacks on shareholder rights by the Business Roundtable (BRT), where Apple is a prominent member, and urged the company to clarify its position and speak out against the BRT’s recommendations. We also joined several statements in solidarity with those standing up for working women and marginalized groups.
