TORONTO, June 1, 2017 /CNW/ - Shareholders will once again push for corporate gender diversity at Restaurant Brands International (RBI) (TSX: QSR ), the parent company of Tim Hortons and Burger King. A shareholder proposal on the issue, the second in as many years, will go to a vote at the company's annual meeting on June 5. Filed by OceanRock Investments Inc. (and held in Meritas SRI Funds) with support from the Shareholder Association for Research and Education ( SHARE ), the resolution asks Restaurant Brands to adopt and publish a policy and plan aimed at improving gender diversity at the board and executive level. Last year, SHARE worked with OceanRock Investments Inc. to file a similar diversity proposal at RBI which received majority support from independent shareholders. Although the company has since added one woman to its board, she is the daughter of another director, the founder of the hedge fund that is RBI's majority shareholder.
