“Why is James Quincey, the CEO of Coca-Cola, also on Pfizer\u2019s Board of Directors?” asked Free Enterprise Project Associate Ethan Peck<\/a> in a recent Human Events commentary<\/a>. “Seems awfully convenient that the guy who seeks to profit most from sugary beverages also happens to profit from the drugs prescribed to treat the widespread illnesses caused by those sugary beverages.”<\/p>\n

\"Ethan<\/a>

Ethan Peck<\/p><\/div>\n

Today at Pfizer’s annual shareholder meeting, Ethan had the opportunity to ask a similar question<\/a> of Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, who (not surprisingly) gave a remarkably unsatisfactory answer.<\/p>\n

The column by Ethan Peck in Human Events outed some of the biggest names in woke capital, from figures like Larry Fink to the CEOs of the largest corporations in America. But they are only the public face of the problem \u2013 the incest is systemic. Most no-name corporate directors you\u2019ve never heard of are just as guilty of contributing to this problem plaguing American business. And we at the Free Enterprise Project<\/a> (FEP) don\u2019t think that they should get a pass just because their names aren\u2019t in the papers as often.<\/p>\n

FEP\u2019s inaugural Corporate Incest Chart, part of the just-released 2023 Proxy Navigator Annual Voting Guide<\/a>, lists 250 corporate board members who simultaneously serve on more than one corporate board. The incest is not exclusively cross-corporate and is not merely reserved for those serving on multiple boards at the same time, but also includes government positions, the boards of nonprofit organizations and the \u201crevolving door\u201d method of incest.<\/p>\n

The 2023 Corporate Incest Chart can be found on pages 22-25 of the Proxy Navigator Annual Voting Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n
