Author of the article: Bloomberg News Tim Quinson By Tim Quinson (Bloomberg) – Perhaps never before have the world's biggest fund managers been so vocal about how they plan to vote in annual shareholder meetings.

From solely a financial standpoint, the trend makes sense given the enormous investment flows into ESG funds and looming regulatory mandates.

A whopping $112.5 billion poured into exchange-traded funds focused on environmental, social and governance factors during the past 12 months, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

These include a racial equity audit at Johnson & Johnson, a diversity and inclusion report from Berkshire Hathaway and a human rights due diligence report at Tyson Foods, Du Boff said.

BlackRock, and to a lesser extent Vanguard, signaled last year that they were prepared to support more ESG-related shareholder proposals than they had in the past, Hale said.
