Arjuna Capital Demands Independent Review of Sexual Harassment at Comcast
Arjuna Capital, a sustainable and impact investment firm that invests in Comcast, has called on Comcast to conduct an independent investigation into the company’s past failings to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace. Arjuna Capital has proposed a shareholder resolution that asks Comcast for an independent review and a report on sexual harassment in the workplace, citing the need to avoid legal and reputational risk. Comcast wishes to exclude the proposal from resolutions that shareholders would get to vote on at its annual shareholder meeting. Comcast argues that the proposal encompasses the company’s ordinary business operations, and can not be voted on by shareholders.
