Is it the purpose of the Global Proxy Exchange to advance social initiatives?

No. The purpose of the Global Proxy Exchange is to make corporate managers more responsive to the interests of shareholders—however shareholders may choose to define those interests. A primary interest of shareholders is the return on their investments, so the proxy exchange can be expected to enhance shareholder value. If there are social agendas (such as getting corporate money out of politics or saving the environment) that have broad support among shareholders, they too will likely be advanced through the proxy exchange. However, the goal of the proxy exchange is merely to put shareholders back in charge of the corporations they own. Shareholders will choose how they want to exercise their rightful authority.
