Kraft Heinz is facing significant shareholder activism with two key proposals ahead of its upcoming annual meeting. These proposals concern board governance, specifically advocating for an independent board chair, and enhancing packaging sustainability to reduce plastic pollution.
Shareholder advocacy group As You Sow has requested Kraft Heinz to improve its plastic pollution reduction efforts. This pressure aligns with broader investor and regulatory focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues within the food industry.
The company has recommended shareholders vote against both proposals, indicating a potential divergence between management and certain investor groups on these matters. The outcome of these votes could influence Kraft Heinz's future governance structure and environmental commitments.
