Proxy adviser Institutional Shareholder Services recommended a vote against a move by the board of BP (BP) to revoke some previous company-specific climate reporting resolutions, Reuters reported Saturday, citing a note seen by it.
The British oil and gas giant's board has called for a vote at its April 23 shareholder meeting to retire two resolutions from 2015 and 2019 requiring company-specific climate reporting, according to the news agency.
"Following extensive engagement with our largest investors, we are fully focused on building a simpler, stronger and more valuable BP," the company said in a statement e-mailed to MT Newswires Monday. "That's why we are making these recommendations, to provide transparent, standardized disclosures that support clear comparisons across companies."
