A brief description of how the institution (or its foundation) has engaged in shareholder advocacy that promotes sustainability during the previous 3 years. :
In fiscal year 2012, the University conducted a screen of its portfolio to determine its exposure to seven companies involved in producing oil in Sudan as part of an on-going divestment program. The University subsequently sent letters to the relevant investment managers notifying them of the University's Sudan divestment policy. For managers with investments that Cornell controls directly, the University requested that the appropriate securities be divested.
