CalPERS Calls BP Shareowner Victory A "Game Changer"

Date 17/04/2015

Anne Stausboll, Chief Executive Officer for the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) issued the following statement today after 98 percent of BP shareowners voted for a resolution to require the company to disclose the risks it faces from climate change:

"The overwhelming shareowner support for this resolution is a game changer in our quest for stronger reporting on climate change risks and opportunities. It sends a strong signal to the financial markets that the time has come to make climate change reporting the new normal, and it raises the bar for all companies to pay close attention to the risks and opportunities related to climate change. The support is also an example of the progress that can come from thoughtful engagement between shareowners and the companies in which they invest in. We look forward to working with our fellow shareowners to ensure the resolution is implemented, and we applaud BP for its management support of this important issue."
