Resolution 1: Amend the company’s constitution

To insert the following sub-clause into clause 13 ‘Meetings of Members’ of the company’s Constitution:

Member resolutions at general meeting

“The shareholders in general meeting may by ordinary resolution express an opinion, ask for

information, or make a request, about the way in which a power of the company partially or exclusively

vested in the directors has been or should be exercised. However, such a resolution must relate to an

issue of material relevance to the company or the company's business as identified by the company,

and cannot either advocate action which would violate any law or relate to any personal claim or

grievance. Such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the directors or the company.”


Resolution 2: Disclosure of financed deforestation

Noting the considerable support for this resolution at last year’s meeting which has not resulted in any

additional disclosure, shareholders request that ANZ assess and publicly disclose, within a reasonable

timeframe and omitting proprietary information, the bank’s deforestation exposure through provision of

finance to its agriculture sector customers.


Resolution 3: Disclosure of a pathway to deforestation-free finance

Deforestation linked to bank lending, including potentially illegal cases, poses material risks to the bank

and its customers. ANZ has not disclosed any initiatives to reduce risks arising from deforestation

impacts, placing it behind domestic and global peers.

Shareholders therefore request that ANZ disclose a pathway to achieve deforestation-free finance in

line with credible frameworks such as the Accountability Framework initiative.
