Index fund giant Vanguard on Monday said it has narrowed support for shareholder resolutions on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues, backing only 2 percent of such proposals at company meetings across the United States during the 2023 proxy season.

In a report on its most recent voting history, the $7.2 trillion asset manager said this year has seen a record number of ESG proposals being brought up for a vote.
