ExxonMobil shareholders have rejected a resolution seeking the inclusion of gender identity and sexual orientation in the company’s anti-discrimination policies, though 35% voted in favor
See previous post.
This marks the seventh year that the proposal has been quashed, although a record number of people did voice support for the proposal with 34.6% of shares voting in favor, compared to 29.4% in 2005. An increase of more than 5 percent for a re-introduced shareholder vote is considered unusual.
