NEXTERA ENERGY INC
Shareholder Proposals
Item 4
Publish a report describing if and how NextEra plans to reduce its total contribution to climate change and align operations and investments with the Paris Agreement.
This proposal asks the company to publish a public report explaining whether and how NextEra will reduce its overall climate impact and align its operations and investments with the Paris Agreement target of keeping warming well below 2°C and ideally to 1.5°C. The proponent cites the company’s prior Zero Emissions by 2045 target (and interim targets) and expresses concern that withdrawal of those targets in 2025 undermines investor confidence and raises reputational and transition risks. The requested report should be prepared at reasonable cost, omit confidential or proprietary details, and provide investors with clarity on the company’s emissions trajectory, strategy and governance for aligning with Paris goals.
Item 5
Prepare a report evaluating the potential costs and benefits to NextEra from aggressive emissions reduction policies.
This proposal asks the board to prepare a one-year report assessing how aggressive emissions reduction or net-zero policies could affect NextEra’s business, including potential costs and benefits. The proponent frames the request around concerns that net-zero commitments may conflict with operational realities, harm returns to shareholders and have contributed to recent underperformance. The requested analysis should be produced at reasonable cost, exclude proprietary or litigation-sensitive material, and provide investors with a clearer, data-driven evaluation of financial, reputational and legal risks associated with rapid decarbonization strategies.
