Woolworths Holdings Limited 2024 AGM round-up

Just Share has published a round-up of Woolworths Holdings Limited’s AGM which took place on 25 November 2024.

Key takeaways

  • Woolworths’ shareholders voted against the company’s remuneration policy and remuneration implementation report, highlighting ongoing shareholder dissatisfaction with the company’s approach to executive remuneration.
  • Shareholders are increasingly focused on Woolworths’ climate strategy and scope 3 emissions. Several shareholders questioned the board on its value chain emissions and asked for emission reduction targets that will translate to real-world emission reductions.
  • Woolworths’ AGM was well-run, but unfortunately limited online participants to written questions only.
