FAIRR Initiative at JD Wetherspoon

What happened
Result: No shareholder vote: this is a collaborative investor engagement. By 2019, 17 out of 20 companies had publicly available policies, while 2 had internal policies and 1 was developing a policy.
FAIRR states the engagement, which ran from 2016 to 2019, resulted in 19/20 companies disclosing publicly available antibiotic policies, up from one at the outset.
