Westpac Banking shareholder proposals 2025
What shareholders asked Westpac Banking to do, and how the funds holding Americans’ retirement savings voted on it: the funds in the 401(k) plans we index and the most widely held funds beyond them, with the filing behind every vote.

Should Westpac Banking disclose what it finances, not just what it emits?
Shareholders asked the company to disclose the emissions attached to its lending, underwriting or energy mix — the ratio of clean to fossil financing, or an assessment of its clients’ own transition plans — rather than reporting only the emissions of its own offices.
