Woodside Energy Group Ltd. faced significant opposition from its shareholders regarding its climate plans and the reelection of its chairman at the recent Annual General Meeting (AGM). Major investors, including Australia's largest super fund, led a protest vote against the company's climate strategies, which critics argue are overly reliant on offsets and not aligned with the Paris agreement. This resulted in the shareholders rejecting the climate transition action plan in a move described as 'globally unprecedented'. Additionally, climate change protestors disrupted the AGM, targeting the children of the CEO and chair, although they were escorted out by police.
