CHI practices shareholder activism , purchasing shares in publicly-traded corporations and engaging with corporate management on environmental , social , and corporate governance issues . After the 2018 Stoneman Douglas High School shooting , Catholic Health Initiatives was the lead filer , co-filing with the Adrian Dominican Sisters , of a shareholder resolution asking firearms manufacturer Sturm , Ruger & Co. to report to investors regarding the steps they are taking to reduce gun violence . Ruger opposed the resolution . BlackRock , the world 's largest asset manager and Ruger 's largest investor , and Institutional Shareholder Services and Glass Lewis , the two most important shareholder advisory firms in the United States , supported the resolution . At Ruger 's annual meeting on May 9 , 2018 69 % of shareholders voted in favor and Ruger said they would heed the resolution . The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence called the vote a " first-of-its-kind victory .
