CalPERS posted its latest episode of “Insight” this week, and the topic is an interesting one: the push from pension funds (acting as shareholders) to have a bigger say in the corporate governance of companies — specifically the board nomination process.

Here’s the video description:

Anne Simpson, CalPERS Director of Global Governance, explains the significance of recent progress toward a greater say by shareowners in the selection of corporate boards.
In this Insight interview with host Bob Burton, Simpson defines the focus of current CalPERS efforts to enhance corporate performance through improved attention to environmental, social, and governance concerns.
