As You Sow reported on its 2022 proxy season activity (for the period July 1, 2021 – June 30, 2022) as follows:
- 196 engagements with 156 companies across 11 areas, as shown here:
- 99 proposals filed on behalf of 79 shareholders, 56 of which were subsequently withdrawn based on successful engagement with companies, and just one of 15 challenged that was omitted based on no-action requests.
- Ten of 32 proposals that went to a vote (seven of which were climate-focused) garnered majority shareholder support. Ten proposals were still pending annual meetings as of the date of publication.
Voted and voluntarily withdrawn (negotiated) proposals are listed by company and accessible with one click on pages 5-7 and 10-12 of the report, respectively. The selected highlights that accompany each group of proposals (as well as ongoing dialogues) are instructive for the upcoming proxy season. All proposals and proposal outcomes are identified in the Appendix alphabetically by company.
