It has been accused in <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/12\/02\/business\/elon-musk-tesla-pay-ruling.html\" title=\"\">lawsuits<\/a> of being too passive in its oversight of Mr. Musk, who runs several other companies and has been deputized by President Trump to cut government spending.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThis is something we have wanted for a long time,\u201d said Kristin Hull, the founder of Nia Impact Capital, an investment fund based in Oakland, Calif., that has filed shareholder resolutions calling on the board to take a more active role.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Tesla acknowledged in a separate letter to stock market regulators that it was responding to criticism from Dr. Hull and other shareholders. The company, which accounted for almost half the electric cars sold in the United States last year, has been sued by the California Civil Rights Department for what the agency called \u201cpervasive racial discrimination and harassment.\u201d Black employees at Tesla have also filed lawsuits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Tesla has denied that it has engaged in discrimination and is contesting the lawsuits, though, in March, it <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/03\/15\/business\/tesla-discrimination-lawsuit-settlement.html\" title=\"\">settled a case<\/a> brought by a Black worker who had won a jury award against Tesla.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Workers at the Fremont factory have complained that they were subjected to racial slurs and racist images. A state agency also said workers reported being <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/02\/10\/technology\/tesla-racial-discrimination-california-suit.html\" title=\"\">given more physically arduous work and denied transfers and promotions<\/a> more often than other workers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The company did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Hull said it was \u201cironic\u201d that Tesla appeared to be stepping up its efforts to promote workplace equality even as Mr. Musk attacks diversity, equity and inclusion, or D.E.I., programs. He often attacks diversity efforts on X, making false and misleading claims about them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">There are also signs that Mr. Musk\u2019s political views and his close association with Mr. Trump and other right-wing political leaders are hurting Tesla sales. Electric car buyers tend to be more liberal than Mr. Musk and his political allies. Tesla\u2019s sales in Germany plunged 59 percent in January, compared with the same month last year, after Mr. Musk endorsed a nationalist political party.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Surveys have shown that Mr. Musk\u2018s politics are prompting some U.S. car buyers to choose other brands. In California, which former Vice President Kamala Harris won in November, registrations of new Teslas fell 12 percent last year, even as overall sales of electric cars and trucks rose slightly, according to the California New Car Dealers Association. California accounts for almost one-third of all the electric vehicles sold in the United States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Hull said that while the Tesla board was vague about how the directors would monitor working conditions, it established a legal obligation to shareholders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIs it concrete enough or detailed enough? No,\u201d she said. \u201cBut it is much more than we expected from Tesla.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Nia Impact will withdraw a resolution it planned to present at Tesla\u2019s next annual meeting calling on the board to \u201creport to investors about how and how often the compensation committee reviews the company\u2019s human capital management practices,\u201d Dr. Hull said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Two other investors, Amalgamated Bank and Proxy Impact, cosponsored the proposal. Both firms push companies to be more inclusive in their hiring.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cAcknowledging the need for more disclosure from the compensation committee about human capital management is a good first step, and we look forward to more explicit information,\u201d Michael Passoff, the chief executive of Proxy Impact, said in an email.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The pledge by Tesla\u2019s board to pay closer attention to human resources was a direct response to Nia Impact\u2019s resolution, according to a letter that Xuehui Cassie Zhang, Tesla\u2019s associate general counsel, sent to the Securities and Exchange Commission last month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After receiving the proposed resolution, the letter said, management and members of the board decided to include \u201cadditional disclosures on the compensation committee\u2019s oversight of the company\u2019s human capital management practices.\u201d The letter asked regulators for permission to exclude the resolution from the shareholder meeting, arguing that \u201cthe company has already substantially implemented the proposal.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Tesla opposed similar proposals in previous years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Zhang did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Her letter noted that the compensation committee\u2019s charter already called for it to oversee \u201chow the company recruits, develops and retains diverse talent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">However, the annual report did not mention diversity, referring only to the goal of recruiting \u201cexcellent\u201d talent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Hull said she equated excellence with diversity, but added, \u201cI\u2019d like to know more about what Tesla sees as \u2018excellent.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion
