Microsoft Corp faces a shareholder proposal urging the company to report on the risks associated with providing advanced technology to the oil and gas industry. The proposal, submitted by As You Sow, highlights concerns over Microsoft's partnerships with fossil fuel companies that lack credible net zero commitments, potentially exposing the company to material financial, reputational, and operational risks. Despite Microsoft's public commitment to sustainability and the energy transition, its sale of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) tools for fossil fuel extraction has been criticized for contradicting these commitments and potentially slowing the global shift to renewable energy.

Microsoft Corp faces a shareholder proposal urging the company to report on the risks associated with providing advanced technology to the oil and gas industry. The proposal, submitted by As You Sow, highlights concerns over Microsoft's partnerships with fossil fuel companies that lack credible net zero commitments, potentially exposing the company to material financial, reputational, and operational risks. Despite Microsoft's public commitment to sustainability and the energy transition, its sale of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) tools for fossil fuel extraction has been criticized for contradicting these commitments and potentially slowing the global shift to renewable energy. The proposal, set for a vote at the annual meeting on December 10, 2024, has been met with opposition from Microsoft's Board of Directors, who argue that their existing Energy Principles and reporting frameworks are sufficient. However, proponents of the proposal assert that the risks are of material importance to shareholders and warrant transparent disclosure. The proposal's supporters also point out that Microsoft's current practices may hinder the energy transition and increase climate-related risks, calling for a 'yes' vote to enhance reporting on the company's exposure to climate-related risks.
微软公司面临一项股东提案,敦促公司就向石油和天然气行业提供先进技术所带来的风险进行报告。这项提案由As You Sow提交,强调对微软与缺乏可靠净零承诺的化石燃料公司合作的担忧,可能使公司面临重大财务、声誉和运营风险。尽管微软公开承诺可持续发展和能源转型,但其出售用于化石燃料提取的人工智能(AI)和机器学习(ML)工具却因违背这些承诺并可能减缓全球向可再生能源转变的步伐而受到批评。该提案定于2024年12月10日的年度会议上投票,但遭到微软董事会的反对,董事会认为其现有的能源原则和报告框架已足够。然而,提案的支持者主张这些风险对股东至关重要,并有必要进行透明披露。提案的支持者还指出,微软目前的做法可能妨碍能源转型,并增加与气候相关的风险,呼吁投票赞成以增强有关公司与气候相关风险暴露的报告。
