IS IT ETHICAL FOR CEOS TO USE STOCKHOLDER'S MONEY TO SUPPORT THEIR CAUSES? [+] serious ballot by cranky ACTIVE Thu Jan 11, 07 - Tue Oct 06, 09 It's a common practice for CEOs and other corporate executives to use company funds (money that actually belongs to the stockholders) to fund politicians and political causes they THEY support, without regard for the beliefs of the stockholders. For example: WASHINGTON — Exxon Mobil Corp. gave $16 million to 43 ideological groups between 1998 and 2005 in a coordinated effort to mislead the public by discrediting the science behind global warming, the Union of Concerned Scientists asserted today. The report by the science-based nonprofit advocacy group mirrors similar claims by Britain's leading scientific academy. Last September, The Royal Society wrote the oil company asking it to halt support for groups that 'misrepresented the science of climate change.'"
