Each item below shows how the 1,232 asset managers that disclosed a COLGATE-PALMOLIVE CO. vote in their SEC Form N-PX filings actually voted. Share totals are the shares those managers' funds voted, summed across every fund they report. These are reported items, not a count of the ballot: fund filings describe one ballot item in different words. Two descriptions are shown as one item only on evidence — the same text (or one cut short of the other), the same director nominee, or a match to the same row of COLGATE-PALMOLIVE CO.’s own Form 8-K tally — never because they merely read alike. A description that could not be joined that way is listed on its own, so one ballot item can appear more than once.

Not shown here: this season’s fund filings also report 1 item from the meeting of May 9, 2025, which belongs to the 2024-2025 season. A meeting outside this season’s July 1 to June 30 window is not counted in this page’s items or in its totals of asset managers and fund votes.
Ranked separately for each type of Form N-PX report. An institutional manager can report shares that a fund it advises also reports, so the two tables can list the same shares and are never added together. Each is ranked by the shares voted on the item that the most managers of that type reported, shown as a share of the 821,412,769 shares outstanding at the time of that meeting.

Percentages above are of 821,412,769 shares outstanding, as reported by COLGATE-PALMOLIVE CO. on its Form 10-K dated December 31, 2023 (see the filing on EDGAR). This is the count contemporaneous with the 2023-2024 meeting, not today’s. Each holding is as of its own filing, which may be dated before or after the meeting.
Every figure above is derived from filings made with the US Securities and Exchange Commission: Form N-PX, in which registered funds disclose how they voted every proxy and institutional managers disclose their votes on executive pay (say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and golden parachutes), and Form 8-K Item 5.07, in which the company reports its own meeting results. Shares outstanding are taken from COLGATE-PALMOLIVE CO.’s 10-K dated December 31, 2023. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At COLGATE-PALMOLIVE CO.'s shareholder meeting held May 10, 2024, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 1,232 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 13,771 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 14 reported items; because filers word the same ballot item differently, that can be more than the number of items on the ballot. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Advisory vote on executive compensation. — COLGATE-PALMOLIVE CO.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 87% support of the votes cast (FOR divided by FOR plus AGAINST, the conventional basis for proxy support; abstentions, broker non-votes and unvoted shares are excluded because none of them took a side). Source: COLGATE-PALMOLIVE CO.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2024.
