Support Public Say on Climate 2023 Expectations Statement
Following the positions taken by the Frenchsif since 2021, in particular the public statement on Say on Climate published last year, investors reiterate in this statement their convictions and expectations concerning the "Say on Climate" resolutions before the 2023 AGM’s season and after the HCJP’s report on Say on Climate resolutions.
Shareholder dialogue is a key lever for action. It offers investors an opportunity to give concrete expression to their decarbonisation and responsible investment commitments by working together with companies to define their own greenhouse gas emission reduction trajectories and to develop virtuous activities.
The development and implementation of comprehensive plans must be the subject of a sustained dialogue and rigorous evaluation, based on reliable information, through regular consultations between management, directors and shareholders. This is why this statement is calling on companies in the most polluting sectors to systematically put climate change resolutions on the agenda at shareholder meetings. This is a prerequisite for a quality shareholder dialogue, as it provides the tools to objectively judge the credibility of companies' climate strategies, as well as their proper implementation.
