Fenwick summarized season-over-season trends for more commonly submitted DE&I-related shareholder proposal types based on data from Proxy Analytics. For purposes of this analysis, each proxy season runs from July 1 through June 30 and 2024 season data is presented through June 10.
In addition to the number of passing proposals, the report notes the rise in anti-DE&I proposals—from 15 submitted for the 2023 season to 30 submitted for the 2024 season. In contrast, the number of proposals supporting DE&I declined from 90 for the 2023 season to 42 such proposals this season to date.
