“Tyson’s failure to quickly address the impacts of the Covid-19 crisis reflects the company’s inadequate management of broader ESG risks.” Throughout the pandemic, Tyson Foods has continued to rake in profits while more than 12,000 workers have gotten sick and 39 have died on its watch.

That’s why organizations working on racial justice, worker rights, animal welfare, environmental protection, and food justice are urging Tyson’s largest investors like T. Rowe Price Associates, Vanguard Group, and BlackRock Fund Advisors to hold Tyson accountable. 

Please join us in taking action to encourage Tyson’s biggest shareholders to vote in support of resolutions that would get the company to implement worker safety measures that are especially needed during COVID.
