Shareholder Resolutions (2022)

If you’re a shareholder in a listed company, you have a say in how it operates.

Market Forces is seeking to make the discussion and management of climate change risk mainstream in Australia’s boardrooms. We do this by engaging with companies, and when change isn’t forthcoming, by proposing resolutions at company annual general meetings (AGMs).

In Australia, it takes a minimum of 100 shareholders to propose shareholder resolutions. Can you join us as one of the 100?

Each shareholder resolution consists of a special resolution intended to amend the relevant company’s constitutions to allow for ordinary resolutions to be lodged by shareholders, as well as an ordinary resolution requesting Paris-aligned transition planning.

The resolutions will be lodged once a minimum of 100 of the relevant company’s shareholders have completed the Agency Agreement. Please read the proposed resolutions by following the links in Step 2 below.
