SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- In coordination with Rhia Ventures, investors have filed thirty-one (31) shareholder proposals addressing the intersections between corporate policy and reproductive health care, more than doubling the volume of last year's activity. 

Key Points: 
  • In the 2022 proxy season, before last year's US Supreme Court decision ending the constitutional right to abortion protections (Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization), eleven proposals came to a vote concerning access to reproductive health care.
  • This year's proposals fall into several categories:
    Ten proposals address corporate support for politicians and political committees seeking to deny access to reproductive health care in contradiction to their stated values.
  • Nine proposals address threats to the privacy of reproductive health data collected and maintained by companies.
  • With increased competition for goods and services amidst globalized markets, consumers support companies that address worker needs and critical reproductive health care and abortion access.
