Greater Manchester Pension Fund and co-filers at Cisco
Asked the board to issue a tax transparency report to shareholders, at reasonable expense and excluding confidential information, prepared in consideration of the indicators and guidelines set out in the Global Reporting Initiative's Tax Standard, which covers revenue, income, employees, cash taxes paid, taxes accrued and tangible assets country by country.
What shareholders voted on
From Cisco’s own filings with the SEC. Support is the share of votes cast for and against, so abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted in it.
