How can investors support oil majors to fight the climate crisis?
2022 focus: pattern on voting behavior
While the investor community is deciding what good climate commitment looks like from oil majors and how they will vote on crucial climate resolutions, Follow This will convene its yearly international investment symposium. The goal of the symposium is to discuss how shareholders can support oil and gas companies to contribute to the targets of the Paris Climate Agreement. Specifically, we will zoom in on patterns in voting behavior of big investors.Â
The symposium will bring together investors, the oil and gas industry, academics and media to discuss how investors can support oil and gas companies to take a leading role in tackling climate change.
