The Board of Directors of Expeditors International of Washington, Inc. voted to modify the company's Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) policy statement to expressly include the words "sexual orientation". This change was in response to a shareholder proposal requesting this modification in the company's proxy statement for the last three years. After reviewing voting results from their most recent proxy statement in light of a recent bylaw change, the Board determined the proposal had passed and unanimously approved the requested change to the EEO statement.
