ICCR’s 2024 Proxy Resolutions & Voting Guide

ICCR’s guiding principle is that sustainable corporations must look beyond the next earnings report to account for the full impact of their businesses on society and the environment, and must view the well-being of all of their stakeholders ― including their workers and the communities where they operate ― as integral to their long-term success.

This guide presents the ICCR member-sponsored resolutions — both as lead- and co-filer — filed for 2024 corporate proxies as of February 15.  A link to our February 15 launch webinar will be posted shortly.

ICCR members have filed 344 resolutions to date this year.  In the 2024 Guide we provide an overview of this season’s trends.

Proposals addressing worker rights and human rights, and the climate crisis led the way with 75 and 70 respectively. Proposals on corporate lobbying and political spending were the third largest group with 63. Next comes diversity and racial justice, followed by corporate governance, environmental health, and health equity.

Members of the ICCR coalition are known for their innovative strategies in shareholder engagement. Among their new asks this year are:

AI Transparency Report      
The Potential Health Harms of Non-Sugar Substitutes
