Costco shareholders re-elect directors and reject greenwashing audit proposal

At the January 15, 2026 annual meeting, all ten director nominees were elected and KPMG was ratified as auditor for fiscal 2026. Shareholders approved the advisory say-on-pay vote, but a proposal asking for an audit of greenwashing risk was defeated by a wide margin. The result leaves board and pay governance unchanged going into the new fiscal year.

• Ten directors elected; Ron Vachris and Susan Decker among them
• KPMG ratified: 335.2 million for, 16.5 million against
• Say-on-pay: 251.4 million for, 34.4 million against
• Greenwashing audit proposal: 4.1 million for, 279.7 million against
