股東大會上提出的有關全球暖化的決議案,大都被股東或證管會撤銷。(照片來源:unknown)愈來愈多公司股東願意站出來督促企業負起社會責任,重視全球暖化問題。根據統計,2007年美國各公司召開年度股東大會期間,總共提出了42項與氣候變遷有關的決議案,這個數量是3年前的兩倍。

一個由投資人、環保團體與公益組織組成的聯盟CERES,已將這些企業做成的氣候變遷決議案彙編歸檔。CRERES成員包括投資人、環保團體和其他公益團體,他們成立的宗旨是與企業合作,共同處理永續發展方面的重大議題,如全球氣候變遷議題。

然而,有些議案仍無法交付表決,有的是因為公司方面做出令人滿意的承諾,股東因而撤銷撤銷,而有的則是因證管會以技術問題為由撤銷了這些議案。

Corporate Shareholders Vote on Rising Number of Climate Resolutions
BOSTON, Massachusetts, May 11, 2007 (ENS)

Investors have filed 42 global warming resolutions with U.S. companies as part of the 2007 proxy season, when corporations hold their annual meetings of shareholders. This figure is nearly double the number of climate-related resolutions filed just three years ago.

The global warming resolutions were compiled by CERES, a coalition of investors, environmental groups and other public interest organizations working with companies to address sustainability challenges such as global climate change.

Some of the resolutions at these companies are not proceeding to a vote either because the proposal was withdrawn by shareholders after a satisfactory pledge by the company to implement the request, or because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission excluded the proposal on technical grounds.
