Briefing : Assemblées Générales 2023 : Recommandations de vote pour les investisseurs engagés pour le climat
Summary
The document urges investors to use the 2023 annual general meeting season to pressure high-emitting companies to improve their climate strategies and transparency. It outlines three types of resolutions for investors to focus on: 'Say on Climate' proposals from management, shareholder-led climate resolutions, and standard governance resolutions (such as director mandates and remuneration) which should now incorporate climate change as a strategic theme. Additionally, the briefing offers sample written questions for companies in the energy, power generation, and finance sectors.
Key insights
- Investors are encouraged to use voting at annual general meetings as a critical lever to communicate climate demands to corporate management and challenge insufficient ambition or transparency in climate strategies.
- The briefing categorizes voting recommendations into three areas: 'Say on Climate' resolutions proposed by management, shareholder-led resolutions seeking transparency or alignment, and routine governance resolutions (e.g., auditor renewal, financial statements, and director mandates) that must now integrate climate change as a strategic theme.
- The guidance includes specific written questions tailored for companies operating in the finance, power generation, and energy sectors.
