Oregon launches database to track public investments

Previously, if you wanted details on how Oregon used its shareholder votes, you’d need to make a public records request. State Treasurer Tobias Read said now, all that is online.

“They’re sortable, so you could look at any company you’re interested in, going back years, what were the votes that were in front of that particular company, and how did Oregon cast our vote,” he said.

For instance, you can see if Oregon voted to raise CEO compensation, or invest in initiatives that address climate change.
