Vote your shares to reduce climate risk and safeguard employee financial security

If you own even one share of Microsoft, you have a voice. As a shareholder, you have influence. Most shareholders vote by proxy, which is the ballot containing all matters being put to a vote by the corporation. It includes board directors, CEO pay, as well as shareholder resolutions about environmental, governance, and social issues critical to the company’s business practices.

This year, you can vote to ask Microsoft: Why is the company saying “carbon negative by 2030,” and at the same time directing $1.74 BILLION of employee savings into investments with climate risk like fossil fuels and deforestation-risk agribusiness?

Use the “vote now” link to support our resolution. You can also submit questions asking the company what they are doing to reduce climate risk in the company 401(k) plan.
