The proposal, though rejected, won 1.5% of votes cast. Investors also rejected a proposal asking the coffee chain to disclose details on discrimination against &#8220;non-diverse&#8221; people, claiming Starbucks&#8217; diversity and inclusivity policies &#8220;alienate individuals who lack certain diverse qualities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The proposal came from the National Center for Public Policy Research, a conservative Starbucks investor, which had previously sued the company for setting hiring goals for people of color and tying executive pay to diversity. A proposal represented by animal rights group PETA asking for disclosures on Starbucks&#8217; pricing of plant-based milk was also rejected by shareholders.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/sustainability\/society-equity\/starbucks-re-elect-all-11-directors-board-rejects-measures-disclose-details-2024-03-15\/\">Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/starbucks-re-elects-all-11-directors-to-board-rejects-proposal-to-disclose-human-rights-policies\/\">Starbucks re-elects all 11 directors to board, rejects proposal to disclose human rights policies<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,13809,13810,13811],"class_list":["post-128972","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-directors","tag-human-rights-policy","tag-starbuck"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128972","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128972"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128972\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128972"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=128972"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=128972"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
