I didnt read the article but I believe this is a state by state law, and some states use the term 'stakeholder' instead of 'shareholder'. A stake holder can be interpreted as anyone affected by the company's actions. If you live down the street from a manufacturing plant, you are a stakeholder because their emissions are going into the air you breath.
