There are plenty of controversies after reviews of their voting like "voted against a record 91% of all shareholder proposals — and against 93% of those focused on environmental and social issues" (2023).

It's a bit like saying that someone voted against 91% of bills in congress. That could be good if they were bad bills! | | |
