Resolution 1
Special resolution to amend the Constitution
To amend the constitution to insert beneath Clause 57 ‘Annual general meetings’ the following new sub-clause: “The company in general meeting may by ordinary resolution express an opinion or request information about the way in which a power of the company partially or exclusively vested in the directors has been or should be exercised. However, such a resolution must relate to a material risk as identified by the company and cannot either advocate action that would violate any law or relate to any personal claim or grievance. Such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the directors or the company.”
Resolution 2
Ordinary resolution on emissions targets
Recognising the company’s commitment to the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures and the aims of the Climate Action 100+, shareholders request that the company, in subsequent annual reporting, disclose short, medium and long-term targets for its scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions and performance against those targets.
All targets should be independently verified as aligned with the climate goals of the Paris Agreement.
