Tracey Davies takes us into Sasol's feisty AGM where activists roared

Environmental activist investor Tracey Davies of JustShare helped turn Sasol's AGM last week into a feisty affair. In the latest episode of Rational Radio, she reports back on the meeting, and explains her beef with SA's second largest polluter. The day after the Sasol slugfest, Davies went along to a far more relaxed FirstRand AGM where she got half what she wanted after the board endorsed a resolution relating to more reporting on climate change exposure. But the JustShare director and fellow activists face a tough task in their demand that the bank discloses information on the carbon footprint of those to whom they have lent. From a practical perspective, getting clients to agree to provide the information looks to be an insurmountable challenge. - Alec Hogg Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
