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 Scope 3 emissions targets

Shareholders request that the company, in subsequent annual reporting, disclose short, medium and long-term targets for its scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions (Targets) and performance against the Targets, consistent with the guidance of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures.

Targets should reflect decarbonisation pathways for the company’s products in line with the climate goals of the Paris Agreement.
