Game!Our show today is being sponsored by Free Float Analytics, the only platform measuring board power, connections, and performance for FREE.DAMION1Who Do You Blame? GameWells Fargo CEO Charlie Scharf Gets Pay Bump To $31.2 Million CEO Charlie Scharf: for being greedy. His pay ratio was already an alarming 325:1 last year.Shareholders: Say on Pay 57% approval in 2021; 73% approval in 2022. Despite policy tweaks which resulted in 92% support in 2023 and 93% in 2024: the song remains the same: the CEO's pay steadily and magically increases annually: $21M, $25M, $26M, and now $31MPay Committee chair Ronald Sargent: why on earth would you ask the former CEO of Staples to control setting the pay of a fellow S&P 500 CEO brother? It's an immediate conflict of interest.Female board power: at -19% this is a board that chooses to underpower female leadership. 5 women control an aggregate 20% influence while the top 5 men control 68%Citi bucks back-to-office trend and embraces hybrid workingThe board: 8 of 14 directors are womenThe CEO: In 2021, Jane Fraser became Citi's CEO and the first woman to lead a major U.S. bank Shareholders: 26% in 2024 supported a SHP requesting a report on the effectiveness of Citi's policies and practices in respecting Indigenous Peoples' rights in Citi's existing and proposed financingChief Human Resources Officer Sara Wechter: Sara serves on the board of Onex Corporation (relatively rare for CHROs and is not afraid in her Citigroup bio to state that “she has championed diversity, equity and inclusion efforts across Citi, leading the firm in exceeding its original 3-year aspirational representation goals set in 2018 for women globally and black talent in the U.S.”McDonald's Shamrock Shake returns — and so does Grimace's uncleThe CEO: Chris Kempczinski's CEO pay ratio of 1,212:1 proves he doesn't care what anybody thinks.The Chair: oh wait, that's also Chris KempczinskiThe Lead independent Director: Miles White, clearly not independent having served on the board since 2009The Sustainability & Corporate Responsibility Committee Chair: The Committee that monitors strategies covering food, sourcing, the environment, human rights, community engagement, philanthropy, and DEI is Paul Walsh. A man who sold alcohol (former CEO at Diageo) and is currently the Executive Chair at a company that sells expensive racing cars (McLaren Group).OpenAI files a trademark application for humanoid robots and VR headsets as Sam Altman teases big hardware ambitionsThe CEO: Sam Altman the guy who refused to be fired for his board while subverting the company's mandate and mission.The Chair: Bret Taylor, the guy who comes from Twitter/Facebook/Google and is clearly disinterested in what humanity actually needs.The board: for allowing a CEO who was previously fired partly for lying to the board to sit on the board as a director.The two women who nearly fired Sam Altman: former OpenAI directors Helen Toner and Tasha McCauleyTarget hit with national boycott call over decision to drop DEI initiativesThe CEO: Brian Cornell's CEO pay ratio of 719:1 proves he doesn't care about anybody but himself.The double DEI-hating director: Dmitri Stockton also on the board of Deere The lead independent director: woman of color Monica Lozano, former CEO of The College Futures Foundation, whose “commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is paramount to its vision for advancing a racially, socially, and economically just California where generations of learners can thrive.”The chair of the committee responsible for Human capital management, specifically “DE&I in support of our business”: Compensation & Human Capital Management Committee chair Monica LozanoCoca-Cola and Novartis's CEOs don't care if ‘ESG' has become a toxic phrase among someNovartis CEO Vasant (Vas) Narasimhan: whose ego is so strong and secure he doesn't even need to serve on the board responsible for his oversight.Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey: for having the strength to say it:“If ESG becomes toxic as a phrase, which it basically has in the U.S., it doesn't matter to me. I'm just going to stop saying ‘ESG.' But the idea that for my basic product, I want to be water positive, I want to have a circular economy on my packaging, and I want to grow our business with less sugar—you can call it anything you like, but no one with common sense says those are bad ideas.“My business strategy is constant and clear and centered around the business and the things that consumers care about and that fix societal problems. If people want to attach labels to it, that's their issue. I'm saying this business will be great if I fix these problems, and it will be good for shareholders and be good for society.”Coca-Cola's Lead Independent Director and Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee chair Maria Elena Lagomasino: maybe some of the woke messaging of Disney movies altered her conscience?Female board power at Coke: 49% influenceMATT1Ryder's $2.5M Settlement Brings 4-Year Governance Overhaul: What's Changing for Shareholders - suit alleged Ryder's management team and board artificially inflated the values of certain Ryder assets and made materially misleading statements regarding those values - suit alleged breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets. Board has to create a Corporate Risk Steering Committee, company must hire a Chief Compliance Officer, a Management-level “Disclosure Committee”, at least two Audit Committee members must be financial experts, they have to hire a third party to do market research, they have to have a “pricing” team to examine market prices, they have a clawback, and they have a non-retaliation policy.CEO Robert Sanchez - CEO since 2013, the Man in the ChairThe Audit Committee - a FIVE person audit committee, all of whom they disclosed in 2020 were “financial experts”, all but one of whom was a CEO at another company that made them a “financial expert” (the fifth was an accounting professor), one of whom was the lead independent director who had been there since 2002Dmitri Stockton! The director who now has the wonderful distinction of having sat on the Deere board the flipped on DEI, the Target board that flipped on DEI, Stanley Black and Decker who was sued for not disclosing executive perks, and the Ryder board who was sued for sucking at being a board - all while he was there!DEI! Dmitri Stockton is BLACK and Robert Sanchez SOUNDS MEXICAN!US Steel Flags Trump DEI Order as Risk Factor for InvestorsRacist old white guys and tech bros! The order was written, ostensibly, by Stephen Miller, Trump, and Musk, the three horseman of the brownpocolypse, and US Steel is now including Trump's DEI order as a material risk to the companyThe lawyers! The company said in its annual report last year that it aims “to have an engaged and diverse workforce to promote new ideas and innovation, reflect the communities where we operate, and deliver exceptional customer service.” This year, that same sentence omitted a reference to having a “diverse” workforce. That sounds like Duane D. Holloway, chief ethics and compliance officer and general counsel, right?DEI! Duane Holloway… is BLACK! Mr. Holloway serves on the board of directors of the Minority Corporate Counsel Association (MCCA), the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission, the Allegheny County Parks Foundation and Gilman School. He also serves as Executive Sponsor of U. S. Steel's SteelPARENTS Employee Resource Group. That all sounds exceedingly woke and DEIish.The board! US Steel managed to find 8 white males for their 12 person board, 3 white woman, and 1 black woman… so people of color have a whopping 6% influence on the board. It DOES feel risky to talk about them though, right?Walgreens stock plunges. Its dividend payout changes are to blameRoz Brewer! She was a DEI hire after all, right? Can't we pin this on her tenure as fake CEO?Steffano Pessina! The man with 61% of board influence, the man who fired Roz Brewer, the man who we'll find out today won re-election despite cratering the company as executive chair!DEI! Did you see this line in the announcement about the dividend cessation? “In fiscal 2024, WBA scored 100% on the Disability Equality Index for disability inclusion”. SO WOKE.

Live from an ESG-scented 100% cotton unisex onesie, it's an all-new Terrific Tuesday edition of Business Pants. Joined by Analyst-Hole Matt Moscardi! On today's anti-anti-DEI lovefest called December 17th 2024: Random ESG Headlines That I Care About Because Somebody Has To Care About Something and Changing the Methodology for Fortune 100 Most Powerful Executives!Our show today is being sponsored by Free Float Analytics, the only platform measuring board power, connections, and performance for FREE.DAMION1Random ESG Headlines That I Care About Because Somebody Has To Care About Something:Walmart is the 2024 Yahoo Finance Company of the YearThe legacy retailer, once seen as slow to adopt technology as Amazon (AMZN) rose to the forefront, has quietly invested in everything from artificial intelligence and augmented reality to same-day delivery and cheap groceries. The combo punch has led to nearly four quarters of record earnings — and a title as Yahoo Finance's annual Company of the Year award winner.A committee of Yahoo Finance editorial leaders selected Walmart because of its strong year of sales and profits, financial outperformance relative to key rivals like Target (TGT), and a stock price that has reached fresh records in 2024.Another unknown is the impact of Walmart's Nov. 26 decision to scale back its DEI work amid right-wing pressure. The decision came a few days after our interviews with McMillon and Rainey, at which time Walmart had already secured its Yahoo Finance Company of the Year recognition.In a Dec. 2 phone call with Yahoo Finance, Walmart's chief people officer, Donna Morris, defended the company's choice:"We are the exact same company today as we were last week, and we will continue to be the same company," Morris said. "We act with integrity, we serve our customers and our members, and we strive for excellence. So our values are absolutely not changing.""Our values are absolutely not changing, the specific initiatives or terms, they change over time," she continued. The company started moving to "belonging" in early 2023, though Morris said the move wasn't due to pressure from any specific group."When you talk about diversity, equity, inclusion, all in part, there can be communities, and often the largest communities, that step back and say, 'Geez, I'm not sure if I'm even actually included'," Morris explained of the decision.After Floyd's murder, a "majority" of companies felt the need to boost their DEI efforts, but now they are reevaluating. "What we observed and felt was really important is that everyone was part of that work, and that's why we really made the shift," Morris said.‘A huge regression': Walmart's DEI rollback incites new racial equity pushA year after the murder of George Floyd, Doug McMillon, CEO of Walmart had a warning for corporate America. The death of Floyd triggered a wave of protest over systemic racism and was “not an isolated event. We have a long history of racism, and we see unacceptable events continue.”Walmart and other large US corporations made pledges to address inequities within their business, ones many feared would be dropped once the focus on Floyd's killing and its aftermath faded. “We can't let that be the case,” he wrote, outlining how the company was releasing its “diversity metrics twice a year” and calling on companies to “continue to address systemic racism and the structural inequities that are rooted in this nation's history of slavery and that persist today”.Times have changed. Last month Walmart became the latest corporation to cave to a rightwing campaign against diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, announcing it would stop using the term DEI altogether, drop DEI trainings, no longer consider race and gender as a means to improve diversity when making offers to suppliers and would not renew a racial equity center committed to addressing “the root causes of gaps in outcomes experienced by Black and African American people”.The union-backed Walmart workers group United for Respect has tried to introduce a shareholder proposal at Walmart's past two annual shareholder meetings for a third-party independent racial equity audit of the corporation.The racial equity shareholder proposal has come up short of the 20% support it would need for Walmart to discuss it, receiving 18% in 2023 and just over 15% in 2024. Hightower said she planned on reintroducing it at the 2025 annual shareholder meeting in Arkansas.Why Tarang Amin, CEO of E.l.f. Beauty, is Modern CEO of the YearModern CEO set out to recognize an executive who embodies the traits and values we've been covering in this newsletter for the last two years: inclusion, accessibility, humility, and innovationEarlier this year, E.l.f. proclaimed its commitment to diversity when it launched “Change the Board Game,” a campaign to encourage corporate board diversity. “I'm proud to say that our board has 78% women and 44% diverse representation,” Amin tells Modern CEO. “We've seen the power in our own business of having that type of representation, but we don't want to be the only company.” As part of its board diversity effort, the company sponsored 20 diverse candidates for a National Association of Corporate Director's program for boardroom readiness and grabbed headlines with its “So Many Dicks” research that found there are more men named Richard, Rich, Rick, or Dick on U.S. public company boards than entire groups of underrepresented candidates. “There's nothing wrong with being a Richard or a Dick,” Amin says with a smile. “I just want to make room for everyone else.”Honorable MentionsBijal Shah, CEO, GuildShantanu Narayen, CEO, AdobeTammy Sun, founder and CEO, Carrot FertilityUnion coalition calls for Kroger CEO's removal amid buyback controversyKroger has shifted strategy with $7.5bn stock buyback after Albertsons merger setback.A faction of the US trades union United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) has called for the ousting of Kroger CEO Rodney McMullen in the wake of a controversial $7.5bn stock buyback announcement. The move follows an unsuccessful attempt to consolidate its position in the grocery market by merging with Albertsons. The Stop the Merger coalition, spearheaded by several UFCW local unions, contends that the substantial buyback initiative is ill-timed, arguing that the company should prioritise investments in workforce enhancement, store maintenance and renovations. The potential $25bn merger between Kroger and Albertsons was halted in early December 2024 when a federal judge issued an injunction against the deal, citing concerns over reduced competition in the grocery market. Starbucks CEO doubles parental leave amid turnaround effortStarting this spring, the company will double its paid parental leave benefits. For some workers, it's as much as three times the original amount. For instance, paid leave for birth mothers is increasing from six to 18 weeks. All other non-birth parents – whether welcoming a child through birth, surrogacy, adoption or long-term foster care – will receive up to 12 weeks of paid leave at 100% of their average pay, according to Starbucks. For employees to be eligible for benefits, they need to work an average of 20 hours per week, according to the company's current policies.Former OpenAI employee who died by suicide was named in a court case that could decide the future of the internetSuchir Balaji, a former OpenAI researcher, died by suicide late last month.After he left the company, Balaji raised questions about OpenAI possibly violating copyright law.His name appears in a New York Times lawsuit against OpenAI that could have far-reaching implications.Eight days before the former OpenAI researcher Suchir Balaji was found dead in a San Francisco apartment, the 26-year-old's name appeared in a lawsuit against his former employer that could have significant implications for the future of AI and the internet.The lawsuit — filed by The New York Times last December — accused OpenAI and Microsoft of using "millions" of articles published by the newspaper without permission to train the AI startup's popular ChatGPT model. The companies have denied that they violated copyright law.On November 18, the Times' attorneys asked a judge to add Balaji as a "custodian" in the lawsuit, according to court documents viewed by Business Insider. The attorneys' letter described Balaji as someone with "unique and relevant documents" that could support their copyright infringement case against OpenAI and Microsoft.NEO Murder stuff:In Armed America, CEOs Get Protection. Schoolkids Get 'Thoughts and Prayers'While top executives of multibillion-dollar companies beefed up security and canceled in-person meetings in the wake of the assassination of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson earlier this month in New York City, students and teachers were offered little more than the typical outpouring of "thoughts and prayers" after the latest school shooting this week.Peter Thiel Reveals How Scared Oligarchs Are Of The PeoplePlutocrats like Thiel are constantly thinking about the fact that ordinary people vastly outnumber them and can kill them at any time. They think about it way more often than ordinary people do.Billionaire Peter Thiel had a fascinating televised moment the other day when asked by Piers Morgan what he thought about the public making a hero of the man suspected of murdering health insurance CEO Brian Thompson. The way he stumbled and stuttered when trying to answer the question gives a lot of insight into how terrified such people are of the public turning against them one day.“And to those who think this shooter is a hero, because he did it because he said this healthcare executive is presiding over a healthcare system which kills thousands of Americans by denying them cover, what would you say to them?” Morgan asked.Thiel paused for a long time, and then stuttered for a long time, and then eventually got out the words, “It's, I don't know what, what to say? I, I think I still think you have, you should try to make an argument. And I, I think this is, this is you should, you know, there may be things wrong with our health care system, but you have, you have to make an argument, and you have to try to find a way to convince people and and change, change it by by that, and this is, you know, this is not going to work.”Socialist fashion brand to launch 'most-wanted CEOs' playing cards in wake of Brian Thompson murderThe Four Suits of Exploitation:Hearts: Real Estate, Retail, and Healthcare – Exploiting care and connection to put profits over people.Diamonds: Finance, Tech, and Media – Hoarding wealth and controlling the narrative to maintain power.Spades: Weapons, Oil, and Pharmaceuticals – Profiting from destruction, war, and illness.Clubs: Chemicals, Agriculture, and Logistics – Grinding the planet and its people into submission.“Play the game, know the players.”Gail Boudreaux: Anthem Insurance (3 of Hearts)Technically CEO (23%) at Elevance Health; changed name from Anthem in 2022Richard Sackler: Purdue Pharma (Jack of Clubs)Company no longer exists; was previously President and Co-ChairHoward Schultz: Starbuck (Jack of Hearts)Is this a nod to Robbie Starbuck?Chair Emeritus, founder and former CEOElon Musk: Twitter (2 of Diamonds)Now called X; not the CEOKathy Warden: Northrop Grumman (Queens of Spades)CEO/Chair (21%)Jeff Bezos: Amazon (King of Diamonds)founder/former CEO/Exec Chair (67%)The Waltons: Walmart (Ace of Hearts)The Sacklers: Purdue Pharma (Ace of Clubs)defunctThe Kochs: Koch Inc.

Really? What if the individual has contributed to the health of the business? We're going to use individual EBITDA and TSR batting averages, and we're doing to do it over the last 5 years, not just this year.Innovation = Influence = influence!Unlike for Fortune, this is EASY for us - we actually measure it - we can use a couple variations, including total influence (added across multiple companies), max influence (at any one company), and median influenceTrajectory = aggregate tenure across all companiesIt's stupid to focus on where someone is in their “career arc” - do you penalize someone young? Do you give more weight to Buffett just because he's 300 years old? Is there a singular “career height” that Fortune decides someone has hit (or hasn't)? Let's go with something measurable - aggregate tenure across all company boardsImpact = controversiesThis was originally written as “do they make the world a better place”, so we're going to go with “do they make the world NOT a worse place?”

Live from the Founder's Diamond Mine in Botswana, where all diamonds are worth 50 votes per share, it's an all-new Terrific Tuesday edition of Business Pants. Joined by Analyst-Hole Matt Moscardi! On today's chocolate-filled summary compensation table called October 22nd 2024: It's Double Quiz Tuesday, featuring a heartbreakingly mediocre ESG News Quiz and a relatively thoughtful data drop quiz!Our show today is being sponsored by Free Float Analytics, the only platform measuring board power, connections, and performance for FREE.DAMION1Let's start with a report that came out a week or two ago that claims Roblox is ?Bonus question 1: of influence is held by women on the Roblox board?Bonus question 2: of influence is held by brothers named Baszucki?Bonus question 3: CEO and co-founder David Baszucki undemocratically controls the pedophilic landscape known as Roblx because his Class B shares are magically worth ?Roblox's 2024 proxy statement cites a Trust & Safety Advisory Board comprised of world-renowned digital safety authorities. The company invites shareholders and stakeholders to “learn more about each of our Safety Advisory Board members at: corp.roblox.com/parents/.” Here's Bonus question 4: Yes or No, Does Roblox list names and qualifications of the members of its Trust & Safety Advisory Board at corp.roblox.com/parents/, in any of its SEC filings, or anywhere else on its corporate website, or anywhere else in the world, including the back on a Chipotle napkin?As a sidenote, the board's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is tasked with overseeing Roblox's initiatives related to trust and safety:The chair of that committee, Anthony Lee, has been on the board since before Obama was president, is the VP at a VC firm called Altos Ventures management that “invests in founders”Committee member Andrea Wong who serves on the boards of:media company Liberty Media, which is controlled by billionaire John C. Malone;Qurate Retail, an American media conglomerate controlled by billionaire John C. Malone; andHudson Pacific Properties, a real estate investment trust controlled by Victor ColemanAnd committee member Christopher Carvalho, who currently owns options worth about $5 million today based on an exercise price of SIX CENTS.There's no real quiz question here: so Bonus Question 5: Do you like this committee??And finally, let's get to executive pay at Roblox:According to the company's 2024 proxy statement, of Rolox's 5 named executive officers are women?Over the past 3 years, has founder and CEO and chair and majority voting powerman David Baszucki, averaged $50 million a year?Let's move over to a recent research report from Russell Reynolds called Gender Diversity in the C-suite: Women's representation in the 2024 S&P 100Just to put the collective power of the S&P 100 into perspective, what is the market cap of the S&P 100?What is the market cap of the entire S&P 500?In 2022, women held 12.2% of the ~15,000 C-suite positions across publicly traded U.S. firms. At the end of 2023, what was this percentage?Russel Reynolds' report looked specifically at 1553 executives at the 100 largest S&P 500 companies (the S&P 100). Out of all S&P 100 organizations, how many have achieved gender parity on their senior leadership teams?Of the six organizations that have achieved parity, name one notable feature of five of those six companies:What percentage of S&P 100 companies have leadership teams consisting of at least two-thirds men?What percentage of S&P 100 companies have leadership teams consisting of at least two-thirds women?The study looked at gender distribution by executive roles:Name the top 3 executive roles held by women:Extra credit: what percentages of those roles are held by women?Name the bottom 2 executive roles held by women:Extra credit: what percentages of those roles are held by women?Double extra credit: what's another name for the CEO role?In 2022, RRA research found that 43% of CEOs in the Fortune 250 companies were promoted from the COO position, making it the most commonly held internal role prior to taking the top job.In the S&P 100, of the 35 men who were a COO in 2022, eight have been promoted to CEO at their same organization and one left to be CEO elsewhere. But of the four women who'd held the COO role, none had been promoted—and three out of four left their operating roles to pursue boards/advisory work Let me add one bit of research that stood out to me from McKinsey's “Women in the Workplace 2024: The 10th-anniversary report”Since the anti-DEI/anti-ESG movement took off over the past year or so, the following four data points have all shown remarkable rebounds after several years of declining percentages:Any competence-based microaggression 37% to 57%Having judgment questioned in area of expertise 22% to 39%Being mistaken for someone at a much lower level 10% to 19%Being interrupted or spoken over more than others 21% to 40%Moving over to the news: As HSBC embarks on a major restructuring, including a new geographic setup where HSBC plans to divide its operations between an “Eastern markets” branch, reuniting Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, along with a “Western markets” division, comprising the non-ringed-fenced U.K. bank, the continental European business and the Americas and consolidated its operations into four business units: Hong Kong, U.K., international wealth and premier banking, and corporate and institutional banking, what has HSBC done for the first time in its 159-year history?Super duper bonus question 1: CNBC released a 615-word article called”HSBC embarks on major restructuring, names first female CFO.” How many words before the article actually names HSBC's first female CFO? Super duper bonus question, part 2: How many words before the article names HSBC's male CEO? And finally, On HBO's hit show Industry that takes place at a 150-year-old Goldman Sachs-esque investment bank in London, what exactly led to the company's near total Lehman Brothers-esque financial collapse?MATT1A data drop quizActivist Jana builds Lamb Weston stake, pushes for possible saleJana said it owns 5% of the Eagle, Idaho-based company and wants to see a strategic review in which the company and bankers would review capital spending, operating deficiencies and share-repurchase strategyWhat percentage of the board has Economics knowledge (from an MBA, a degree, or acting as a CFO)?72% (8 of 11).
