What to expect at Apple’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders
Apple shareholders get the chance to vote on D.E.I., artificial intelligence, child safety, and charitable giving at Apple’s annual meeting of shareholders on February 26th.
Leslie P. Norton for Morningstar:
Apple’s annual meeting is the unofficial kickoff for the proxy-voting season. This year, a widely watched proposal asks Apple to stop its diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
President Donald Trump issued executive orders to end DEI in the federal government, and companies are following suit. Thus, recently, Goldman Sachs abandoned its requirement that the companies it takes public have at least two diverse board members. In 2023, the US Supreme Court ended affirmative action in college enrollment. ISS, the proxy-voting advisor, said it will “indefinitely halt consideration of certain diversity factors in making vote recommendations with respect to directors at US companies.”
