Background

As The Conference Board predicted at the outset of last year, shareholder proposals on racial equity and civil rights audits have gained traction, with 18 proposals voted on last year that garnered an average of 44%. As of early May 2023, 18 proposals have already been filed (anti-ESG proposals not included). Even without a shareholder vote, companies are deciding to conduct racial equity audits either on their own or as part of an agreement with a shareholder to withdraw their proposal.

The Briefing on June 7th will feature Annette Tyman, Partner at Seyfarth Shaw LLP, and will address:

  • What are these audits?
  • What are the pros and cons of conducting one?
  • Who is executing these audits?
  • What are the findings thus far?
  • What has the reaction been from stakeholders?
  • What are the do’s and don’ts of conducting these audits and reporting on them?

Please reach out to Evan Ladao at evan.ladao@conference-board.org for any questions or issues.
