Target 12.6: Companies adopt sustainable practices and reporting
Encourage companies, especially large and transnational companies, to adopt sustainable practices and to integrate sustainability information into their reporting cycle
Owners voting their values can deliver most of the outcome.
Why shareholder democracy is pivotal
This target is literally about corporate conduct and reporting, which owners control through votes on disclosure resolutions and directors. As You Sow builds public scorecards to push companies toward such practices and reporting; its Road to Zero Emissions report graded 55 of the largest U.S. companies on climate practices and found 64 percent failed to report complete value-chain emissions. Corporate political influence is also the obstacle to mandatory reporting. The SEC adopted climate-disclosure rules on March 6, 2024. After challenges by states and private parties were consolidated in the Eighth Circuit, the SEC stayed the rules and on March 27, 2025 voted to withdraw its defense. Owners can both demand reporting directly and vote against lobbying that undermines mandates, so they can deliver most of this outcome.
How this was scoredPivotal
Pivotal. Owners voting their values can deliver most of the outcome.
We have not yet written down the two answers behind this rating. Recording them on every item, so a reader can check the reasoning and not only the conclusion, is work in progress.
Every rating is the higher of two answers, one for what companies do and one for what they spend to stop the outcome, because the same vote reaches both. See the full method.

Asked the board to evaluate and report on how the bank's public promotion of diversity, equity and inclusion affects its risk of discriminating against people on the basis of race, colour, religion including religious views, sex, national origin, or political views.
Result: Filed under Rule 14a-8 on 9 December 2024 for the 2025 annual meeting. East West Bancorp asked the SEC staff on 13 February 2025 for permission to leave the proposal off its proxy card, arguing under Rule 14a-8(b) and Rule 14a-8(f)(1) that Inspire had not proved a full year of continuous share ownership, since the custodian letters covered different periods and named clients rather than Inspire itself. Inspire withdrew the proposal, and on 1 April 2025 the SEC staff said the matter was moot and it would have no further comment. The proposal was not voted on.
We found no documented change by East West Bancorp.
Asked the company to publish a report evaluating how its policies affect employees on the basis of protected characteristics, which Inspire framed as a question of respecting the civil liberties of the workforce.

Asked the company to prepare a report, at reasonable cost and leaving out proprietary or legally privileged information, assessing the risks that come from using data unethically to develop artificial intelligence, the steps it takes to reduce those risks, and how it measures whether those steps work.
Result: Voted on at the December 5, 2025 annual meeting as the proposal for a report on AI data usage oversight. Not approved, but it drew the strongest support of any NLPC proposal in this record: 683,895,858 votes for, 4,435,809,588 against, 63,749,211 abstaining, and 1,137,975,835 broker non-votes.

Asked Alphabet to report on the risks arising from its equal employment opportunity policy, in a proposal the company listed on the ballot as an EEO policy risk report. The filer used this proposal title elsewhere in the same season for a request that a company report on the risks of not explicitly prohibiting discrimination on the basis of viewpoint and ideology in that policy.
Result: Voted on as Item 4 at the annual meeting on June 7, 2024 and rejected. The SEC filing reports 28,683,052 for, 12,587,699,628 against, 36,073,595 abstaining and 584,773,150 broker non-votes. That is 0.23 percent in favour on either basis, counting only votes for and against or including abstentions in the base. This is the lowest support of any of the filer's proposals recorded here, and Alphabet's dual class share structure concentrates voting power in a way that affects the comparison.
we found no documented change. All twelve shareholder proposals at this meeting were rejected.
Asked Apple's board to publish a report on the risks of leaving viewpoint and ideology out of the written categories protected by its equal employment opportunity policy. The filer argued that employees with conservative or dissenting views were unprotected as a result.

Asked Walmart's board to commission an independent, third-party racial equity audit analyzing the company's impact on Black, Indigenous and People of Color communities and employees, with the results made public and improvements recommended. Related investor materials tied this to workers' difficulty advancing into management.
Result: Sources give slightly different figures for the same vote. Sourcing Journal, via Yahoo Finance, reports 18.1% of votes cast in favor. Majority Action reports 18.2% of all shares voted, and 42% of shares voted by shareholders independent of the Walton family. The 0.1 percentage point difference may reflect rounding or a different vote-count base. The proposal did not pass. Filed under SEC Rule 14a-8.
We found no documented racial equity audit completed by Walmart in response to this vote. Refiled versions of the same ask failed in 2024 and 2025, drawing 15.4% and 6.9% support respectively per the Sourcing Journal account, which indicates the audit had not been carried out.

The resolution asked Meta's board to adopt measurable, one-year targets for reducing dangers to children on its platforms, track quantitative metrics on progress, and publish both in an annual report so investors could hold the company to them.
With members of the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility
Result: Support climbed each year among independent (non-Zuckerberg-controlled) shares: 53.8 percent in 2023 and 59.1 percent in 2024, according to Proxy Impact's own tally; the 2024 filing also won recommendations to vote yes from proxy advisors ISS and Glass Lewis. The resolution was refiled again in 2025.
Proxy Impact and As You Sow both describe Meta as having resisted the reforms the resolutions called for; we found no documented instance of Meta publishing the requested annual child-safety metrics report as of the sources reviewed.
The resolution asked Alphabet to commission an independent human-rights impact assessment of how its algorithmic advertising and ad-targeting systems affect users' privacy and rights.

We found no documented change by the company following this vote.
Asked Tesla's board to report on whether and how it would eliminate child labor and forced labor, including cobalt mining risk in the Democratic Republic of Congo and concerns about Uyghur forced labor in China, from its supply chain by 2025, and to increase supply-chain transparency.
Result: Per Tesla's own SEC Form 8-K, the proposal received 0 votes for and 2,420,047,519 votes against (100% against). This was a 'floor' proposal not included in Tesla's advance proxy materials or on shareholders' proxy ballots, which is why the recorded 'for' vote was zero.
Despite the zero-vote outcome, CEO Elon Musk publicly committed at the meeting to third-party audits of Tesla's cobalt supply chain ('we will conduct a third-party audit... we'll put a webcam on the mine'). As of a July 2024 Forbes report, the follow-through fell short of that promise: Tesla's main cobalt supplier posted only a single low-resolution monthly satellite photo of the mine rather than live monitoring, and while Tesla said four scheduled (not surprise) audits found no child labor in 2023, an expert said this did not address the risk that cobalt from an estimated 40,000 children working in unregulated artisanal mines gets mixed into the supply chain before reaching Tesla's suppliers.

With CalPERS, New York City Retirement Systems, Color of Change (supporting)
Result: Passed with 55.1% of shares voted in favor (June 2022).
McDonald's said it would 'engage a third party to conduct an assessment,' calling it a civil rights 'assessment' rather than 'audit.' By September 2023 the company had begun focus groups with franchise owners as part of that process, per CNBC. We found no documented publication of final assessment findings in the sources retrieved.

Result: 13.4% of votes cast were in favor at the June 1, 2022 annual meeting; the proposal did not pass. Filed under SEC Rule 14a-8.
We found no documented change to Walmart's starting-wage policy that any source attributes to this vote. Walmart's CEO cited an average hourly wage above $17 (as of April 2022) in opposing the proposal, not as a result of it.

Issue a report by December 2021 estimating how much plastic packaging Kroger releases into the environment and describing the company's strategy to reduce plastic packaging.
Result: 45.6% of votes cast were in favor The proposal was precatory (advisory and non-binding).
Kroger later pledged that its Our Brands packaging would be 100% reusable, recyclable, or compostable by 2030 and launched a mail-back recycling program with TerraCycle's Loop, but As You Sow found the company set no recycled-content goal for plastics and had cut its earlier 20% recycled-content pledge in half.

Asked Tyson's board to prepare a report on human rights due diligence, covering whether the company was doing enough on paid sick leave, COVID-19 testing and case counts, workload, and meaningful engagement with workers after over 12,500 workers were infected and dozens died during the pandemic.
With 22 co-filing institutional and faith-based investors
Result: Sources disagree on the exact figure. Investor Advocates for Social Justice reported the proposal won 78.7% support among independent (non-Tyson-family) shares but only 18.4% of total votes cast, because the Tyson family's Class B supervoting shares give it majority voting control regardless of other shareholders. PR Newswire separately reported 'nearly 82 percent' support among independent shareholders for a package of proposals that included this one plus a lobbying-disclosure resolution.
Investor Advocates for Social Justice reported that Tyson 'largely failed to engage meaningfully,' did not address the concerns raised, withheld preliminary vote results at the meeting, and gave no opportunity for questions; the annual meeting lasted less than 30 minutes. We found no documented policy change at Tyson attributable to this vote.
Asked Twitter to report on the risks arising from its equal employment opportunity policy, in a proposal the company listed on the ballot as an EEO policy risk report. The filer used this proposal title elsewhere for a request that companies report on the risks of not naming viewpoint and ideology as protected categories in that policy.
Result: Voted on as Proposal No. 4, the sole stockholder proposal, at the annual meeting on May 27, 2020 and rejected. The SEC filing reports 7,846,369 for, 487,516,238 against, 11,833,680 abstaining and 116,834,178 broker non-votes. That is 1.58 percent in favour counting only votes for and against, or 1.55 percent if abstentions are included in the base.
we found no documented change.
Asked Starbucks to report on the risks of leaving viewpoint and ideology out of the written categories protected by its equal employment opportunity policy. The filer says its aim was to have those categories added, and framed the proposal as protecting employees with conservative views.
Result: Voted on as the sole shareholder proposal at the annual meeting on March 18, 2020 and rejected. The SEC filing reports 11,939,598 for, 777,393,209 against, 15,268,711 abstaining and 187,494,578 broker non-votes. That is 1.51 percent in favour counting only votes for and against, or 1.48 percent if abstentions are included in the base. The Manhattan Institute's proxy monitor work independently reports the same 1.51 percent figure and states that abstentions were excluded from its calculation.
we found no documented change. Starbucks' executive vice president and general counsel Rachel Gonzalez opposed the proposal at the meeting, calling it unnecessary and not beneficial to shareholders, and pointed to the company's existing To Be Welcoming programme.
Publish a report on P&G's efforts to eliminate deforestation and forest degradation from its supply chain, including wood pulp sourced from Canadian boreal forests, despite the board's recommendation to vote against it.

Pressed Citigroup, through a shareholder resolution and direct engagement, to disclose its median (unadjusted, company-wide) gender and racial pay gap rather than only a narrower 'equal pay for equal work' adjusted figure.
Result: On January 16, 2019, Citigroup became the first major U.S. bank to disclose median pay gap data: women earned 29% less than men and minorities earned 7% less than non-minority employees on an unadjusted, company-wide basis.
Citigroup committed to increasing female representation in mid-to-senior roles to 40% by 2021. Separately, per HR Dive, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Mastercard, Wells Fargo and Bank of New York Mellon each agreed to work on closing pay gaps for women and non-white employees following similar shareholder pressure from Arjuna Capital, though the sources retrieved do not give those banks' specific disclosure figures.

The resolution asked AbbVie's compensation committee to report each year on whether executives were being rewarded, through incentive pay, for pricing strategies that drew public criticism over drug costs.
Result: The proposal won 21 percent shareholder support. AbbVie had asked the SEC to exclude it from the proxy ballot; that challenge failed, and proxy advisor ISS recommended shareholders vote in favor.
We found no documented follow-up report or compensation-policy change that AbbVie made as a result of this specific vote in the sources reviewed.
Shareholders asked each company to publish a report showing how much it had raised prices on its top-selling brand-name drugs from 2010 through 2016, explain the reasoning behind those increases, and assess the legislative, reputational, and financial risk of its pricing strategy.
Result: All ten companies filed petitions with the SEC to exclude the proposals from their proxy ballots (a 'no-action' request), so none of the resolutions ever reached a shareholder vote.
We found no documented change in drug-pricing disclosure practice that resulted from this specific 2016-2017 round of proposals; the resolutions were blocked before a vote could occur.

How this rating was made
Every item on every one of our maps is read against one question: how far does this depend on the people who own companies voting their values? We answer it twice, once for what companies do and once for what they spend to stop the outcome, and take whichever answer is higher, since the same vote reaches both. The score carries its reasoning and its sources so that a reader can check it rather than take it.
- Pivotal. Owners voting their values can deliver most of the outcome.
- Necessary. Owners remove an obstacle nothing else removes, and others must also act.
- Helpful. Owners voting their values help, and others carry most of it.
- Independent. This moves without owners. Other levers carry it.
The advocacy record on this page holds only what a source we opened says happened. Where we searched and found nothing, the page says so rather than leaving a silence. Where a campaign names a filer the source does not name, it says that too. Ratings are ours; the list of subjects is UN Sustainable Development Goals's, and we link to their original.
