Equinor’s board has rejected all shareholder climate resolutions, including one asking to set more ambitious emission reduction targets, the company said in a notice to the annual shareholders’ meeting published on Thursday.
Follow This, a group representing about 5,400 green-minded shareholders in oil and gas companies, said Equinor’s ambition fell short of actions required to keep global warming at well below 2 degrees Celsius compared with pre-industrial times, proposing a motion for Equinor’s AGM on May 14.
“We asked in the resolution Equinor to set short-, medium-, and long-term targets that are aligned with the Paris Agreement. Today they are not aligned,” Follow This founder Mark van Baal told Reuters.
