Buffett, at 90, still puts his money where his mouth is
Berkshire’s unwillingness to virtue-signal when it comes to climate change may irritate some shareholders but the way it votes with its wallet is more significant.
At the age of 90, Warren Buffett does not have time for what he regards as box-ticking exercises. The Oracle of Omaha directly dismissed a shareholder proposal from the likes of California pension titan Calpers at Saturday’s annual shareholder meeting.
The proposal demanded that Berkshire Hathaway publish an annual report explaining how the conglomerate’s units were managing climate risks and opportunities.
