Activist investor wants outside review of Comcast’s ‘failures to prevent workplace sexual harassment’

An activist investor, with a track record of drawing attention to gender discrimination issues at large companies, wants to introduce a shareholder proposal calling for the independent review.

Arjuna Capital’s proposed resolution asks Comcast for an independent review and a report on the company's "failures to prevent workplace sexual harassment," citing the need to avoid legal and reputational risk. The resolution also cites NBC’s 2017 firing of former "Today" show host Matt Lauer over sexual harassment claims, and questions how NBC News has handled workplace sexual misconduct, among other things.
