Some investors have already announced plans to vote against Mr Goyder.But Mr Goyder, in a direct pitch to investors this week, said shareholders would be hit hard by a rapid shake-up of the company’s strategy.AVIATIONPremiumQantas funds scavenger hunt in jet scrapyards for new planesNeale PriorEnergyCommentsPremiumGoyder doubles down, says Woodside on the right climate pathMatt Mckenzie“We are concerned that some stakeholders’ and investors’ requests to drastically change Woodside’s strategy and investment priorities risk eroding value for all shareholders and contributing to a disorderly energy transition,” he said.“The energy transition will take time and significant investment, and I am confident that Woodside’s disciplined approach is the right path for our shareholders.”Woodside had endured a series of tight votes linked to climate policy at recent annual meetings, including an unusually large protest against director Ian MacFarlane last year.Mr Goyder said climate change was “an urgent global challenge”, and the company had stepped up engagement in response to shareholder requests.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":null,"is_publish_highlight":null,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.22.4","shortVersion":"4.22.4","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2428248615"}
