Bowyer Research has recommended that Apple shareholders vote in favor of Proposal 4, which calls for the company to issue a report on the risks of not including 'viewpoint' and 'ideology' in its equal employment opportunity policy. The proposal suggests that Apple's current commitment to diversity and inclusion may not be enough to protect against viewpoint discrimination. Apple's Board of Directors opposes the proposal, arguing that the company already respects a range of viewpoints and ideologies and that the requested report would not offer significant new information to shareholders. However, Bowyer Research criticizes the Board's stance, stating that it conflates respect with actual protections against discrimination, mischaracterizes the proposal's intent, and overlooks concerns about Apple's commitment to ideological diversity. The Board's opposition is further challenged by the 1792 Exchange's report, which labels Apple as 'High Risk' for its internal policies and practices, and by legal actions such as the case of Pham v. Apple Inc, which raise questions about the company's content moderation standards and commitment to nondiscrimination.
