How other organisations have declared their voting intentions
Organisation name | Declared voting intentions | Rationale |
---|---|---|
EFG Asset Management | For | A vote FOR this proposal is warranted, as shareholders would benefit from additional information allowing them to better measure the progress of the company's diversity and inclusion initiatives and its management of related risks. |
Anima Sgr | For | As Amazon does not publish for its U.S. or global workforce the same gender pay gap statistic as it publishes in the UK. The median pay gap statistic provides benefits such as transparency and comparability across time and organizations and serves as one measure of representation of women in senior positions. For its U.S. workforce, Amazon uses an "equal pay for equal work" statistic in which the company defines what it considers to be an "equal job." The company's disclosure of a pay equity statistic and its diversity and inclusion efforts provide shareholders with some visibility into how well the company is addressing the underrepresentation of women and underrepresented minorities at senior levels. However, Amazon has recently faced lawsuits and fines concerning its hiring and pay practices. Publishing the unadjusted pay gap statistic could increase accountability for diversity efforts and would provide shareholders with useful information about how effectively management is assessing and mitigating risks that may arise from inequitable worker treatment. |
