Political Proposals Pile Onto Proxies

A number of boards are facing votes related to their companies’ political activities this year as the temperature surrounding companies in the political sphere keeps heating up.

Already this year, shareholders have voted on two proposals as big companies — Hewlett Packard Enterprise and The Walt Disney Company — related to political activity, which garnered an average support level of 30%. Shareholders have yet to vote on at least 43 additional political proposals at S&P 500 companies, according to public company intelligence provider MyLogIQ.
