The company say they’d rather use resources to directly respond to concerns
The board state that they “do not believe this proposal is in the best interests of the company or its shareholders“. Instead of creating such a report, they say it would be better to “directly respond to employee concerns”. A vote on the proposal would take place at the company’s annual meeting.

What does the proposed report want to find out about how Activision Blizzard treat their workers? Well, the proposal seeks to include how many allegations of sexual abuse, harassment and discrimination Activision Blizzard is looking into, how much money the company have spent settling claims during the past three years, and how many more misconduct claims they’ve yet to address.
The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing’s two-year-longinvestigation of Activision Blizzardreportedly found that 2,500 people could be owed up to $930 million (£744 million) in compensation, but the company’s board have said this estimate “appears to be based on faulty assumptions, inaccurate guesses about factual matters, and multiple mathematical errors”.
