Ceres skriver i en update (link- https://www.ceres.org/news-center/press-releases/climate-action-100-investor-signatories-achieve-major-gains-during-2020 ), at ” Proposals filed by Climate Action 100+ investor signatories calling on major oil and electric power companies to disclose lobbying activities and improve governance on climate change garnered record levels of support at this year’s U.S. Proxy Season. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 annual general meetings were virtual, forcing shareholders to join remotely by video conference. But, despite this change of forum, the vote outcomes were further evidence of the increasing concerns over the global climate crisis and its impact on shareholder value. In a big win, a 53% majority of shareholders at Chevron Corp. voted for a resolution seeking a commitment from the oil giant to align its lobbying activities on climate policy with the goal of the Paris Agreement, which is to keep global average temperature rise to well-below 2 degrees Celsius with the aim of limiting it to 1.5 degrees. Filed by Climate Action 100+ investor signatory BNP Paribas Asset Management, this was the first climate-related proposal ever to win a majority of Chevron shareholder votes and it was the only proposal on Chevron’s 2020 proxy ballot that won a majority. “
