In the world of for-profit companies, investors are increasingly demanding better corporate-governance standards and more diverse boards that include independent members. They are taking a much more active and public role in speaking out against bribery, corruption, and excessive pay packages, and in favor of corporate social responsibility and fair labor practices.
其他方面同样闪烁着希望的曙光。盈利企业的投资者要求改善公司治理标准，吸纳独立董事使得董事会更加多元化。他们在公开反对贿赂、腐败和薪酬过高、支持企业社会责任和公平劳动行为方面越来越积极主动。如果管理者对他们的呼声充耳不闻——他们就会在年度股东大会上用脚投票。
