五大石油巨头面临投资者提出的气候目标压力

中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社休斯顿、伦敦报道,石油巨头美国雪佛龙和挪威国家石油公司已成为维权投资者的最新目标,他们将迫使5家最大的石油公司承诺设定排放目标,并与《巴黎气候协议》保持一致。 这项努力是计划在2019年春季举行的股东年会上通过一系列与气候相关的代理决议的一部分,这些决议由Follow This、As You Sow和Arjuna Capital这三个投资者团体倡导。 2015年,近200个国家通过了《巴黎气候协议》,该协议设定了一个目标:在世纪之交之前,将气温变暖限制在2摄氏度(3.6华氏度)以下。 雪佛龙公司的积极投资者周三表示,他们已经提交了年度会议决议,呼吁这家石油公司同意减少温室气体排放。 根据路透社审查的一份决议副本,他们现在希望雪佛龙公司报告如何减少温室气体排放,以达到巴黎协议的要求,他们认为气候变化给投资者带来了投资组合风险。 雪佛龙没有立即回应记者的置评请求。 As You Sow的主席Danielle Fugere 表示:“我们在2013年提交了首个碳资产风险解决方案,已经取得了进展,但这还不够。” 在欧洲,Follow This在挪威国家石油公司2019年度股东大会上提出了一项气候决议,这反映了其对英国石油公司和皇家荷兰壳牌公司的激进举措。 挪威国家石油公司发言人表示,公司支持《巴黎气候协议》。他说:“我们有自己的气候发展蓝图以及如何减少二氧化碳排放的明确目标。” 在投资者的压力下,壳牌做出了一个大转弯,计划推出与客户使用其燃料有关的三年或五年碳排放目标,并从2020年开始影响高管薪酬。 英国石油公司和道达尔也设定了减少自身二氧化碳排放的短期目标。 当Follow This被问及为什么这个计划没有针对道达尔和意大利埃尼时,该组织的创始人Mark van Baal表示,所有权的门槛使得在一些国家比较难提出解决方案,例如法国1%的门槛。 本周,埃克森美孚的另外两家投资者表示,他们将提交一份股东决议,呼吁这家全球最大的石油公司设定目标。 今年,雪佛龙决议限制其甲烷排放,并调整其业务以适应低碳经济,分别得到了45%和8%的支持。 詹晓晶摘自路透社 原文如下: Five oil majors face 2019 climate target pressure by investors U.S. and Norwegian oil majors Chevron and Equinor (EQNR.OL) have become the latest target of activist investors moving to force five of the biggest oil companies to commit to fixed emissions targets and align with the Paris climate agreement. The effort, part of a wave of climate-related proxy resolutions planned for spring 2019 annual shareholder meetings, is being led by investor groups Follow This, As You Sow and Arjuna Capital. The Paris climate agreement, adopted by almost 200 nations in 2015, set a goal of capping temperature warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit) before the turn of the century. The activist investors of Chevron Corp said on Wednesday they had filed annual meeting resolutions calling for the oil company to embrace greenhouse gas reductions. They now want Chevron (CVX.N) to report on how it can reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to meet the Paris accord, arguing climate change presents “portfolio risks to investors,” according to a copy of the resolution reviewed by Reuters. Chevron did not immediately respond to a request for comment. “We filed the first carbon asset risk resolution in 2013,” said Danielle Fugere, president of As You Sow. “There has been progress, but not enough.” In Europe, Follow This filed a climate resolution for Equinor’s 2019 annual general meeting, mirroring its activist moves on BP (BP.L) and Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.AS). A spokesman for Equinor said it was supporting the Paris climate agreement. “We have our own climate roadmap and clear goals for how to cut Co2 emission,” he said. Following pressure from its investors, Shell made a U-turn setting out plans to introduce three-year or five-year carbon emissions targets linked to customers’ use of its fuels and affecting executive pay beginning in 2020. BP (BP.L) and Total (TOTF.PA) also have set short-term targets on reducing their own carbon dioxide emissions. When asked why Follow This has not targeted Total and Italy’s Eni (ENI.MI), the group’s founder Mark van Baal said ownership thresholds make it harder to file resolutions in some countries, for example, a 1 percent hurdle in France. This week, two other groups of Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N) investors said they would file a shareholder resolution calling on the world’s largest oil company to set targets. This year, Chevron resolutions to limit its methane emissions and to adapt its business to a low carbon economy received 45 percent and 8 percent support, respectively.​
