A proposal had been submitted by one of Topdanmark’s shareholders, Thomas Meinert Larsen, in which he proposes that the annual general meeting recommends that the Board of Directors annually publishes a statement for the exercise of active ownership in coal, oil and gas companies for the purpose of ensuring that these fossil companies stop misinforming about the climate and stop performing lobbyism counteracting the Paris Agreement on ensuring below 1.5 degrees or maximum 2 degrees of global warming. The Board of Directors is further recommended to dispose of shares and bonds in coal, oil and gas companies where the active ownership does not lead to a cessation of such activities by the end of 2022. Thomas Meinert Larsen’s proposal was not adopted.
