BIG OIL WON'T STOP DRILLING
BUT YOU CAN STOP THEM
Marches and banners don't move oil giants. Shareholder votes do. Become a green shareholder and fuel the mechanism that actually moves oil majors.
FEELING
POWERLESS?
The climate crisis is not a mystery. A handful of oil companies drive 70% of global emissions. We have found a way to confront the management of these companies and shock them out of their comfort zone.
JOIN THE MOVEMENT that puts climate action on the agenda. Literally.

HOW IT WORKS
1
YOU JOIN
You become a green shareholder. That's the honorary title we give our members. You don't need to buy or own shares.
2
WE FILE
Follow This holds shares in major oil and gas companies. That gets us inside their annual meetings. We challenge them: invest your brains and billions in the energy of the future. Or explain to your investors why you won't.
3
THEY VOTE
We rally the pension funds and major investors who hold the real voting power. The board must listen to their owners and answer for their actions. All on the record.
PROOF IT WORKS
PROOF IT WORKS
SMALL VOTES MOVE BIG COMPANIES
In 2017, just 6% of Shell's shareholders back our resolution. It is enough to make Shell the first oil major in history to set a climate target.
THE VOTES INCREASE. SO DOES THE PRESSURE
By 2021, 30% of Shell's shareholders vote with us. At Chevron, 61%. At Phillips 66, 80%. That level of revolt leaves the board no choice but to listen and act.
RESULTS DESPITE GEOPOLITICAL HEADWINDS
Follow This-backed investors win record 30% support at TotalEnergies' 2023 AGM. Up from 17% in 2020, despite Ukraine war and Covid rebound headwinds.
BOARDS FEEL THREATENED
In 2024, ExxonMobil sues to keep our resolution off the ballot. The case is dismissed. You don't sue a movement that doesn't matter.
BP BLOCKS THE VOTE. AND PAYS THE PRICE
In 2026, BP refuses our resolution. Investors revolt: they defeat two board proposals, and the new chair takes a record protest vote. Weeks later, he is ousted.
