Fossil fuel dead end instead of climate-friendly investments: Our countermotions

Regarding Agenda Item 2: To resolve on the appropriation of the net income

The Association of Ethical Shareholders Germany requests that the proposal by the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board on the appropriation of the net income be rejected.

Rationale:

With a payout ratio of around 76 per cent, the dividend is unreasonably high and sends a fatal signal in view of the dramatically worsening climate crisis. We demand that the dividend be massively reduced and that the funds freed up be invested entirely in socio-ecological transformation and the expansion of climate-friendly technologies and measures.

Countermotion for agenda item 2: resolution on the allocation of retained earnings

The Association of Ethical Shareholders Germany proposes to reject the allocation of retained earnings suggested by the board of directors and the supervisory board.

Justification: Reject dividend payout – prioritize investments

While the company is in crisis, revenue continues to decline, jobs are being cut, and further layoffs are looming, the board of directors and supervisory board still wish to pay out a dividend.
