Investor briefing: Shareholder Resolutions at BP plc and Royal Dutch Shell plc

25.03.15

This briefing provides investors with information regarding shareholder resolutions which will be on the 2015 AGM Agendas of BP plc and Royal Dutch Shell plc.

The ‘supportive but stretching’ resolutions call for increased disclosures of corporate strategy on climate change as part of routine reporting from 2016.

These resolutions reflect the broader questioning of the outlook for fossil fuel companies in the context of the risks associated with climate change and are aimed at securing for investors sufficient information to make informed investment decisions.
