AAP/Bianca de Marchi. Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) has advised investors to vote against West, who will face shareholders for the first time as chair this week, and Lancaster, the representative of top shareholder and billionaire Bruce Gordon, following a series of scandals and after an external review found systemic abuse of power inside the company. "Shareholders may seek to hold directors accountable for the failures of governance, board and risk oversight, with specific reference to the issues identified by the Intersection Report on workplace practices and culture involving systemic issues with abuse of power and authority; bullying, discrimination and harassment; and sexual harassment," reads the ISS report, seen by Capital Brief. While the ISS report has been mentioned in passing before in a story published by Nine's Financial Review, the extent of the proxy advisor's misgivings with the board has not been detailed until now.
