4 Provide Right to Act by Written Consent Vote rationale: Shareholders should in certain circumstances have the opportunity to raise issues of material importance without having to wait for management to schedule a meeting. All proposals subject to shareholder approval should be presented as individual items, and the vote tally should be published. Global Voting Guidelines Against For
5 Report on Climate Lobbying Vote rationale: The board should account for material sustainability risks facing the company, and the broader environmental and social consequences of its operations and products. Sustainability disclosures should be aligned with applicable global reporting standards and frameworks to support investors in their analysis of risks and opportunities. Where a company’s disclosure does not meet our needs as a financial investor, we will consider supporting a well-founded shareholder proposal calling for reasonable disclosure. We will not support a shareholder proposal that appears to impose a strategy or prescribe detailed methods, unrealistic timeframes or targets for implementation.
