History has been made at the Exxon AGM today. At least 2 of the Engine No. 1 directors have been elected. Voting on the other two was too close to call. Investors are serious about the transition to net zero.

250 people @ meeting for French speaking signatories #PRIinPerson! On est 250 signataires à la rencontre de la #francophonie des PRI - c’est pas rien! #Bravo. @PRI_News @FIR_FrenchSIF
@mladjo411 @PRI_News @Shell Yes - have been calling it out for a while. Shell was 1st to ask for & disclose carbon price, credible targets, & so on. Difficult to think of another o&g actor trying to meet energy demand while minimizing impact
As a universal owner, “you cant beat the market, you own the market... We prefer managers who minimize negative externalities rather than try to create (short-lived) alpha” Hiro Mizuno, CIO of Japan’s GPIF and board member of @PRI_News #PRIinPerson
“(on CapEx alignment) don’t judge us on this metric, the only metric that counts (towards climate change) is net carbon footprint” Ben van Beurden @Shell, CEO #priinperson#climatechange
“If you really want to measure the impact of our company, you really need to look at our product carbon footprint - 50% reduction target by 2050” Ben van Beurden @Shell, CEO #priinperson#climatechange
Achievement from #ClimateAction100+ collaborative engagement cannot be understated. It’s the backstop to failed governments in Oz & US! #priinperson
“Core” questions soon to be asked to all responsible investors: mandatory, assessed, fundamental and public - introduced by @PRI_News’ Fiona Reynolds. This might be a good start to raising the bar & distinguish good practice from good marketing, via annual reporting assessment.
Looking fwd for PRI to de-list signatories to Principles who do not meet “minumal requirements” in 2019. It’s about our movement’s credibility! #reporting#PRIinPerson
