IN THE LOOP ➰ ISSUE 001 View online | | | Ho-ho-hodl, fellow Troopers! As we near the holidays, we welcome you to the first issue of Troop’s newsletter, In The Loop.
In The Loop represents a monthly round up of the most exciting news regarding all things corporate accountability, shareholder activism, and social innovation.
With each section below, we’ll be including articles and links to content with estimated reading times (we want to make sure you’re mentally prepared for 20-page research reports), as well as emojis to help indicate the medium (hint: if you’re in an office, you’ll probably want headphones for the 📹).
