Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google, is facing a shareholder proposal from the Environmental Health Trust (EHT) urging the company to report on the health effects and financial risks associated with electromagnetic radiation from its wireless devices. The proposal, included in Alphabet's 2024 proxy statement as Item #5, will be voted on at the Annual Meeting on June 7, 2024. EHT, a non-profit think tank, highlights concerns over the potential health risks of radiofrequency (RF) radiation emitted by wireless products, citing scientific literature that suggests serious health risks to humans and the environment from long-term exposure to wireless radiation. The proposal calls for Alphabet to disclose whether it has insurance against liabilities from RF product exposure and to demonstrate efforts to ensure product safety in compliance with health guidelines. The proposal also criticizes Alphabet's current risk disclosures as inadequate and points out that the company's opposition statement to the proposal downplays the issue. The EHT emphasizes the need for Alphabet to address the safety of its wireless products, compete on safety, and educate its customers on health risks. The proposal's filer, Lendri S. Purcell, is a board member of EHT and an investor in Alphabet Inc.
