HARLEY-DAVIDSON, INC.
Shareholder Proposals
Item 5
Publish a comprehensive climate transition plan describing if and how Harley-Davidson intends to achieve its climate-related goals, with annual progress updates.
The proposal requests that Harley-Davidson publish a dedicated climate transition plan that explains whether and how the company intends to meet its climate-related goals (including its net-zero by 2050 target) and to update that plan annually while omitting proprietary information. The proponent notes that use-of-sold-products (vehicle tailpipe emissions) represent the majority of the company’s GHG footprint and that broader, forward-looking disclosure is limited since 2023. The proposal highlights peer practices — such as setting EV sales targets, investing in R&D for electrification, improving production efficiency, and increasing renewables — and suggests Harley consider guidance from advisory groups like the Transition Plan Taskforce. The requested plan is intended to provide investors with quantitative, decision-useful information on the company’s strategies, actions, and timelines to address climate-related risks and opportunities.
