Glass Lewis issued an environmental, social, and governance (ESG) alert for G8 Education (ASX:GEM) shareholders ahead of the company's annual general meeting scheduled for April 29.

The report cited allegations regarding a former employee as the basis for the alert.

The early childhood and care provider disclosed in July 2025 that a former employee faced charges involving children at its childcare centers.

An investigation is ongoing, and the company plans to initiate an independent review once that process has concluded.

Over the past year, Australia's early childhood and care sector has faced increasing regulatory scrutiny due to wider child-safety failures across the sector.

The alert's rationale centers on precedent-setting/unique ESG issues and falls under other social issues.
