Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from Colgate-Palmolive Company (CL) in our archive over the last 12 months, newest first, and each one links through to the document itself with the summary and the scores our analysis gives it.
A DEF 14A covers the proxy statement, with executive pay and the shareholder votes, so if you follow CL and want that one kind of document rather than the whole filing history, this is the page to keep. The company's other filings, of every form, are on the full CL filings page.
Colgate-Palmolive Company is asking stockholders to vote at its 2026 virtual Annual Meeting on May 8, 2026. Investors are being asked to elect ten director nominees, ratify PricewaterhouseCoopers as independent auditor, and approve an advisory vote on executive compensation, while the Board recommends voting against two stockholder proposals.
The proxy describes a refreshed 2030 strategy focused on organic sales growth, earnings and free cash flow, supported by brand reach, science-based innovation, omni-channel demand generation, data and AI capabilities, and an inclusive culture. It highlights strong governance practices, a largely independent and diverse Board, robust risk and cybersecurity oversight, and a pay-for-performance executive compensation program where most senior pay is variable and equity-based. Sustainability, climate targets and human capital development are presented as integral to long-term value creation.
