SUMMARY
OUR VOTE
RATIONALE FOR THE VOTING DECISION
OUTCOME
Significant risks to shareholders stemming from severe and mate- rial ESG controversies have been identified at the company, which reflects poor board oversight of ESG risks, including human rights risk as well as concerns regarding the effectiveness of the company's content governance. In addition several of board members are being questioned on the basis of poor company ESG risk oversight by the board. We voted for both the Energy Transition Strategy and the “Follow This”-resolution on Paris-aligned targets since it was the best way to both 1) indicate that their strategy and targets are not sufficient, and also 2) not halting the very, very significant progress that the company has made and is making.

An independent racial equity audit would help shareholders better as- sess the effectiveness of Amazon's efforts to address the issue of racial inequality and its management of related risks, particularly in light of recent discrimination lawsuits. A director with human and/or civil rights expertise as a core part of their previous professional experience, training, or education, would be of value to Twitter given the human rights risks of its current general operations. Such a director could enhance the board's over- sight of human rights-related risks.
