殼牌投資者否決一項全球變暖提案
中國石化新聞網訊 據道瓊斯海牙5月22日消息,荷蘭皇家殼牌集團股東周二否決了一項要求該公司將其戰略與限制全球變暖的努力保持一致的提案,這標志著股東對該公司在氣候變化方面已采取的措施表示支持。
由荷蘭激進股東團體Follow This提出的上述提案僅獲得5%的股東代理投票支持。該提案要求殼牌集團設定排放目標,使其與國際社會的目標一致,以將全球變暖控制在比工業化前水平高出不到2攝氏度的水平。
去年相同的一些提案雖然只獲得了6%的股東的支持,但是仍然幫助推動公司設定一些廣泛的排放目標。
殼牌集團曾于去年11月宣布了在2050年之前將其碳排放削減一半的目標,包括使用殼牌燃料的駕駛人的汽車尾氣排放。

Shell Investors Vote Down Global-Warming Proposal
Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSB.LN) shareholders voted down Tuesday a proposal requiring the company align its strategy with efforts to limit global warming, signaling support for steps the company has already taken on climate change.
The resolution, put forward by Dutch activist shareholder group Follow This, won just 5% of the shareholder proxy vote. It called on the company to set emissions targets in line with international ambitions to limit global warming to less than 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
A similar resolution last year garnered support from 6% of investors who voted, but still helped push the company to set some wide-ranging emissions goals.
In November, the company announced an ambition to halve its carbon footprint--including emissions by drivers who burn Shell fuel--by 2050.
