At Alphabet's annual stockholder meeting Wednesday, Google's parent company was met by investors critical of its efforts in regard to diversity and human rights. The criticism came in the form of shareholder proposals, a common element of big companies' annual meetings, and something institutional investors use as a platform to direct grievances at leadership. But the pushback from critics was especially pronounced this year as civil unrest spreads across the US in response to the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man killed while in police custody. One proposal, led by Zevin Asset Management, called for executives' pay packages to be tied to diversity and inclusion goals, a practice adopted by some other tech giants, including IBM and Intel. "We're asking Alphabet to put its money where its mouth is on inclusion and drive improvement from the top," said Pat Miguel Tomaino, director of socially responsible investing at the firm, who mentioned the Floyd protests in his presentation.
