A resolution presented by a B.C. Indigenous leader at Kinder Morgan’s annual general meeting in Texas passed Wednesday morning, according to the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs (UBCIC).
Chief Judy Wilson of the Neskonlith Indian Band (Secwepemc Nation) presented the resolution from the New York State common retirement fund that asks Kinder Morgan to issue an annual sustainability report that lays out the company’s environmental, social and governance risks, including risks to human rights and Indigenous communities.
According to the UBCIC, the resolution passed with support from a majority of stockholders.
“This morning at the AGM, I was overwhelmed and impressed with the understanding from stockholders of the need to have our Indigenous title and rights, and treaty rights, respected in order for their investments to have any certainty,” Wilson said in a press release.
