Resolutions 2024

In this crucial decade, the world needs to almost halve emissions to limit warming to 1.5° and the oil and gas industry must keep pace with these reductions. Our climate resolutions support publicly listed oil and gas companies to set Paris-aligned targets to reduce all emissions (scope 1,2 and 3).

The success of our resolutions shows: shareholder activism works.

This season we focused on building a strong coalition of large shareholders to co-file a climate resolution with Follow This at Shell.

The shareholder resolution requests the oil major to align its medium-term emissions reduction targets with the Paris Climate Agreement.

Support for Paris-aligned targets will provide Shell with a shareholder mandate to lead the energy transition, causing an industry-wide ripple effect.

We managed to bring together a record number of 27 institutional investors (managing more than € 3.9 trillion* in assets) filing a climate resolution at Shell.

We hope more investors will follow and are continuing our efforts to build up the vote.
