Engagement actionnarial pour le climat : Un guide pour des pratiques ’engagement et de vote plus efficaces
Summary
Reclaim Finance argues that current financial engagement for climate action is limited, citing the failure of Climate Action 100+ to secure comprehensive transition plans from all target companies. The guide recommends that investors increase transparency, set time-bound public demands focused on 1.5°C alignment rather than mere transparency, and implement systematic annual escalation sanctions for non-compliance.
Key insights
- Current climate engagement by financial actors has yielded limited results; specifically, the Climate Action 100+ coalition has failed to ensure all targeted companies publish transition plans aligned with a 1.5°C goal, and general assembly votes often fail to penalize inadequate climate strategies.
- Reclaim Finance recommends that investors shift their focus from requesting transparency regarding transition plans to demanding actual alignment with a 1.5°C trajectory.
- To increase effectiveness, investors should adopt a strategy of systematic annual sanctions (escalation) when companies fail to meet defined public, general, and sector-specific demands.
