Woodside Energy’s climate strategy will come under scrutiny again at its AGM on 28 April. Some 49 per cent of shareholders had voted against the oil and gas group’s climate report at its 2022 AGM. Climate activists contend that Woodside’s latest climate plan fails to address concerns that were raised in 2022. Meanwhile, Vision Super and Betashares have joined with the Australasian Centre for Corporate Responsibility in calling for shareholders to vote against the re-election of Ian Macfarlane, Swee Chen Goh and Larry Archibald to Woodside’s board. They contend that the three directors should be held to account for the board’s repeated failure to present a credible climate strategy.
