CREDIT AGRICOLE SA: GENERAL SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING OF CRÉDIT
AGRICOLE S.A.
GENERAL SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING OF CRÉDIT
AGRICOLE S.A.
A Crédit Agricole S.A. General Shareholders'
Meeting was held on Wednesday 17 May 2023 in Paris, attended by
Chairman Dominique Lefebvre and Chief Executive Officer Philippe
Brassac.
More than 1,400 people attended the Meeting
either in person or remotely.
With quorum of 79.89%,
the General Shareholders' Meeting approved all of the resolutions
put to it by the Board of Directors. All resolutions approved
obtained a score above 80%.
Nearly 17,340
shareholders voted prior to the General Shareholders' Meeting, with
74% of them voting online via Votaccess.
After approving the financial statements for the
year ended 31 December 2022, the Ordinary General Shareholders'
Meeting of Crédit Agricole S.A. decided to distribute a dividend of
€1.05 per share.
The General
Shareholders' Meeting appointed as Director Carol Sirou, Chair of
EthiFinance, replacing Françoise Gri.
The General
Shareholders' Meeting also renewed the directorships of Agnès
Audier, Sonia Bonnet-Bernard, Marie-Claire Daveu, Alessia Mosca,
Hugues Brasseur, Pascal Lheureux and Eric Vial.
At the opening of the
General Shareholders' Meeting, Dominique Lefebvre, Chairman of
Crédit Agricole S.A., publicly thanked CA Ukraine's teams for their
commitment to serving customers and the economy.
Philippe Brassac, Chief Executive Officer of
Crédit Agricole S.A., devoted the first part of his presentation to
the paradigm shift in the current economic and financial
environment and reminded those present that the crises of certain
banks were not synonymous with a crisis in the banking system. He
then emphasised the virtues of the multi-universal bank model which
offers to all types of customers, everywhere, via all channels, the
full range of solutions to meet all their banking and asset needs
as part of a comprehensive and lasting relationship.
In a second part devoted to the longer term, he
insisted on the challenge of the energy transition. Crédit Agricole
has chosen to support the transition of the whole of society; the
easy way would be to green the Group's balance sheet, rather than
contributing to greening the whole economy.
To do this, he presented a comprehensive
equation in three complementary thrusts:
- Accelerate the
advent of renewable and non-carbon
energy. Crédit Agricole is already the leading private
financier of renewable energy in France. Over the last two years,
for every dollar taken out of fossil fuels, Crédit Agricole has
deployed 4 euros in renewables.
- Equip the whole of
society, making industrial innovations accessible to as
many people as possible. Naturally mobilised to encourage the
emergence of new solutions, Crédit Agricole is in line with the
positive measures taken by the public authorities around the Green
Re-industrialisation Project.
- Support an accelerated exit
from fossil fuels by committing to quantified and dated
Net Zero sectoral trajectories, and by supporting all stakeholders
in their energy transition, such as energy companies that are
committed to a necessary transformation towards renewable
energies.
In the absence of a public framework, Crédit
Agricole took the decision at the end of 2022 not to finance any
new oil exploration project and recalls that from the outset it
refused to finance the EACOP project.
Philippe Brassac concluded his speech: "What is
fundamentally the right course of action in a world of sometimes
contradictory injunctions and challenges? At least that of
humility: recognising that we don't really know, and in any case
that we don't know definitively. Be responsive and able to adapt or
revise our policies regularly. The fossil fuel sector accounts for
just 1% of our revenues and results. It is not a financial issue
for us. It is a question of responsibility."
