(Reuters) – Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:) will review the effectiveness of the company’s sexual harassment and gender discrimination policies and practices in response to a shareholder proposal that passed at its latest annual meeting, its board of directors said on Thursday.

The review will produce a transparency report that summarizes the results of any sexual harassment investigations in recent years against its directors and senior executives, including allegations that a board committee probe beginning in 2019 involved Bill Gates, the board said.

Microsoft’s board said it has hired outside law firm Arent Fox to assist in the review.
