How many anti-ESG proposals will large companies face in 2025 relative to 2024?
• Based on number of anti-ESG measures up for vote at S&P 500 companies in Jan–May of 2025 vs. 2024
——
After the rapid proliferation of ESG proposals over the last few years, companies are now muting their focus on ESG and DEI initiatives as anti-woke activists attack companies for their progressive stances.
This year shareholders have voted on 70 measures opposing traditional ESG initiatives at S&P 500 companies. This is up from 30 in 2022 and 7 in 2020.
Anti-ESG proposal growth outpaced that of other categories tracked by ISS this year.
