(Reuters) – Amazon.com investors voted against all 14 resolutions that would have requested the retailer disclose more about its carbon emissions, its directors’ donations and form a committee to oversee artificial intelligence development, among other issues.
Amazon announced the preliminary vote at its annual shareholder meeting on Wednesday, where all 12 directors were voted in for an additional term.
The company had asked shareholders to reject all of the outside proposals. Additional resolutions sought to have Amazon create a committee to address the financial impact of policy positions and produce reports on lobbying expenditures, warehouse working conditions and packaging materials.
Amazon will later provide a full tally of the vote in a securities filing.
