Australian pension major votes against Woodside chair, climate plan ahead of AGM

Australia's third-largest pension fund has voted against the re-election of Woodside Energy chair Richard Goyder and the firm's climate action plan in a rebuke to the company's campaign to win shareholder support for its emissions plan. Aware Super, which manages A$170-billion, said in a statement on Monday that Woodside had not made sufficient progress on its climate transition action plan to justify support at the annual general meeting this Wednesday.
