2024 Proxy Season Debrief: Analysis, Key Takeaways, and the Path Forward Recording on June 28, 2024
Majority Action hosted a webinar on June 28, 2024 to analyze 2024 proxy season voting results as related to racial equity and climate. The webinar served to celebrate our wins and the incredible leadership that active owners, elected fiduciaries, and trustees demonstrated this season! Esteemed panelists also discussed what the investment community can do in the coming months to hold the world’s largest asset managers accountable for their misaligned proxy voting behavior, and encourage the largest proxy advisors to strengthen their Benchmark recommendations, in a manner that will support stronger voting outcomes on climate and racial equity next year.
