Activision Blizzard has written to shareholders urging them to vote against against a New York State proposal that it should publish an annual report detailing the effectiveness and outcomes of its efforts to prevent abuse, harassment, and discrimination in its workplace.
Similarly, it also wants shareholders to vote against a proposal to put an employee representative on its board.
As detailed in its latest shareholder filing, Activision Blizzard’s board of directors is unanimously recommending shareholders vote against enacting the annual report, which would include several proposed metrics: the total number of pending sexual abuse, harassment or discrimination complaints the company is seeking to resolve through internal processes or ligation; details of the company’s progress toward reducing the average time it takes to resolve sexual abuse, harassment or discrimination complaints; the amount of money it has spent settling disputes related to sexual abuse, harassment or discrimination, and finally pay and hours worked consolidated data.
Elsewhere in its filing, Activision Blizzard’s board unanimously recommends shareholders vote against a second proposal that it puts an employee representative, selected by non-management employees, on the board.
