Fossil fuels are destroying our climate, while Big Oil blocks the energy transition. As activist shareholders, we have the power to drive change from within and compel Big Oil to shift to clean energy. If the oil giants switch to renewables, we solve the climate crisis.
Big Oil fueled the climate crisis and actively blocks change. The solution? Shareholder pressure. Follow This changes the system from within, uniting investors to vote for climate action. It works. Oil giants can ignore protesters, but they cannot ignore their own shareholders. More and more investors with billions under management are joining us. Because they know that climate change is a financial risk. Together, we are moving the biggest polluters toward a sustainable future.
As a shareholder, you have a vote at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). Follow This uses this democratic right to file climate resolutions at oil giants like Shell, BP, and Chevron. We mobilize thousands of green shareholders (our members) and large investors (like pension funds) to vote for our resolution. This is how we pressure Big Oil to invest in clean energy, not in new oil fields.
Shareholder pressure works. Investors representing billions are joining us. In eight years, the demand for climate action from shareholders has risen to 20% (up from 3%). The snowball is rolling, and Big Oil is starting to sweat.
Fossil fuels account for over 75% of greenhouse gas emissions and are the primary cause of climate change. Oil giants like Shell, BP, Exxon, Chevron, and TotalEnergies therefore bear a huge responsibility, but they also possess the technology, expertise, and billions needed to lead the energy transition.
Oil companies have known since 1959 that their products disrupt the climate. Yet, they still invest 95% in new oil and gas projects. They keep pumping because shareholders allow them to.
