Shell PLC said Tuesday that all resolutions passed at its annual
general meeting, except one put forward by shareholders concerning
its Paris Climate Agreement targets.
The oil major said a resolution to approve its energy transition
progress and its energy transition progress report passed with
79.91% of votes in favor.
However, resolution 21, a shareholder resolution for the company
to report on its strategy and underlying policies for reaching
targets consistent with the goal of Paris Climate Agreement, failed
to pass, receiving the support of just 20.29% of shareholders.
The company had recommended shareholders vote against the
resolution.
"We are pleased that the overwhelming majority of shareholders
continue to support Shell, our energy transition strategy and the
progress we have made in the past 12 months. We are also encouraged
by the reduced support for shareholder resolution number 21 but
recognize there is still work to do," Chief Executive Ben van
Beurden said.
The company said it will consult shareholders to understand the
votes and formally report back to investors.
