Praxis has co-filed four 2022 shareholder resolutions relating to inequality:
- Vaccine pricing and accessibility – Johnson & Johnson
- Paid sick leave – The Home Depot
- Racial equity – Amazon
The proposal calls for a racial equity audit analyzing Amazon’s impacts on civil rights, equity, diversity and inclusion, and the impacts of those issues on Amazon’s business. - Racial equity – Walmart
This proposal requests that the board of directors oversee a public report on whether and how Walmart's racial justice goals and commitments align with the starting pay for all classifications of Walmart associates. Shareholders want to understand how Walmart is fulfilling its racial justice commitments by building equity for its associates through its wage structure.
Praxis is hopeful that these proposals will lead to constructive dialogue. Through each of them, Praxis’ goal is to build a more equitable world and encourage policy beneficial for all stakeholders.
The resolutions at The Home Depot, Johnson & Johnson, and Walmart were filed on behalf of the Praxis Value Index Fund. The resolution at Amazon was filed on behalf of the Praxis Growth Index Fund.
