Shareholders on Wednesday rejected a proposal backed by 7,700 employees to come up with a climate change plan.
Amazon shareholders rejected a proposal to develop a plan to respond to climate change during the company's annual meeting on Wednesday. The proposal had gathered the support of nearly 7,700 employees across the company.
"Speed is everything," she said."Without bold, rapid action we will lose our only chance to avoid catastrophic warming. There’s no issue more important to our customers or our world than the climate crisis, and we are falling far short." Rajit Iftikhar, a software engineer at Amazon, told reporters at a press conference after the shareholder meeting that climate change is not a future crisis, but one that is having"disastrous effects" in his parent's home country of Bangladesh right now.
