More than one-fifth of shareholders backed a resolution to leave any industry association which has a strategy not consistent with the Paris climate change agreement. the World Coal Association said the vote showed a transformation was happening. He said a taskforce he led across the mining industry was working to make “our vehicles greener and safer” and that this “typifies the vast bulk of the work of all the trade associations we join and we work tirelessly to make sure this kind of work is their major and predominant role.” BHP CEO Tania Constable , however, said a move towards renewables made an increase in metals production necessary. BHP left the World Coal Association in September .
