Engine No. 1
American activist impact investing hedge fund / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Engine No. 1 is an American activist[1][2] and impact-focused investment firm.[3][4] It attracted attention with its campaign to replace four members of ExxonMobil's board of directors despite owning only 0.02% of the company's shares.[1][5] The firm describes its investment approach as "active ownership", as it prefers to work with management instead of launching activist campaigns.[6]
