NEW YORK (Reuters) – Procter & Gamble (NYSE:) Co shareholders re-elected with more than 90% support the consumer goods company’s CEO and chairman and all of its current directors to the board at its virtual annual meeting on Tuesday.
Environmental non-profits had urged shareholders to vote against CEO Jon Moeller as chairman of the board, preferring an independent chair instead, and also opposed two directors, Angela Braly and Patricia Woertz.
