Re Agenda item 3: Discharge of the members of the Executive Board
The Association of Ethical Shareholders Germany proposes that the actions of the members of the Board of Directors be denied discharge.
Justification:
The Executive Board has once again failed to implement effective measures to protect the climate and human rights.
Human rights: Unacceptable working conditions and suppression of trade union activities
There are increasing indications that the Executive Board is not adequately addressing human rights risks in accordance with the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz – LkSG), even in its own business area. This seems to be particularly true with regard to the prohibition of disregarding freedom of association, according to which employees may freely form or join trade unions, which may not be used as a reason for unjustified discrimination or retaliation, as well as the right to strike and the right to collective bargaining.

Re agenda item 7: Approval of the remuneration report
The Association of Ethical Shareholders Germany proposes that the remuneration report be rejected.
Rationale:
Leadership at DHL will be rewarded for performance related to employee engagement despite significant labour disputes that are creating material risk to shareholders.
Workers from Unite the Union at DHL Aviation in the UK are currently in a dispute over pay. This dispute has been needlessly escalated by DHL Aviation (UK) management who have victimised trade union representatives and imposed the pay offer rather than negotiate a settlement. One Unite representative has been dismissed and another suspended on bogus charges. Weiterlesen

Re agenda item 2: Appropriation of profit
The Association of Ethical Shareholders Germany proposes that the appropriation of profit proposed by the Board of Executive Directors and the Supervisory Board be rejected.
Rationale:
Once again, the proposed dividend, which is unchanged from the previous year, is too high. Instead of cutting jobs and investments in the urgently needed socio-ecological transformation of all BASF divisions, the dividend should be reduced. The current dividend policy is not sustainable, it is in fact a waste of resources: the proposed dividend amount of over EUR 3 billion can already no longer be paid from the free cash flow of EUR 2.7 billion in 2023.

Dear Mr Kaeser, dear Mr Bruch, dear members of the Managing Board and Supervisory Board, dear shareholders,
My name is Vladimir Slivyak, I work for the Russian non-governmental organization Ecodefense, which has been campaigning for safe energy and climate protection for over 30 years. Because of this work, Ecodefense was falsely accused and persecuted by the Russian Government. In 2022, the European Court on Human Rights ruled that the Russian Government violated our rights (see “Ecodefense and others v Russia” 9988/13). Nevertheless, I had to leave Russia along with my colleagues because it became impossible for us to continue environmental and climate defending work. Weiterlesen

Regarding Agenda Item 3: To ratify the acts of the members of the Executive Board
The Association of Ethical Shareholders Germany requests that the acts of the members of the Executive Board not be ratified.
Rationale:
The Executive Board impedes the energy transition unnecessarily and is not fulfilling its human rights due diligence obligation.
Siemens Gamesa: Problems jeopardize path toward a climate-neutral power supply
For years, the Executive Board has been unable to get to grips with the problems at the wind power unit Siemens Gamesa, in particular massive quality and productivity problems with some turbines. The resultant losses have even necessitated government aid in the form of guarantees running into the billions to ensure that the order backlog can be handled at all. Weiterlesen
