Click bait headline.

From the end of the actual statement. Seems to me the shareholder hasn’t been forgotten. Its just at the end of a longer list.....

Generating long-term value for shareholders, who provide the capital that allows companies to invest, grow and innovate. We are committed to transparency and effective engagement with shareholders.

investing in employees, delivering value to customers, dealing ethically with suppliers and supporting outside communities . . .

The first three definitely contribute to the long-term value of the company and, therefore, of shareholders.

The last one would depend a lot on the specifics. The best way to support the communities you are in is to provide stable long-term employment so the employees would be inclined to do that.

It WOULD NOT mean contributing to shake-down schemes such as Sodomite Pride Parades or lining the pockets of people like the Not So Rev. Al Sharpton.

Except the shareholder should be at the top of the statement, first priority.

It is ONLY through profits that owners are reminded they are serving their customers. The moment that stops being the central priority, owners no longer serve others first and begin serving their own desires (environmentalism, the homosexual agenda).
