Old Dominion Freight Line Inc (ODFL)Vote Yes: Item 5 – Shareholder Proposal Regarding
Emission Reduction Targets
Annual Meeting: May 21, 2025
CONTACT: Diana Myers| dmyers@asyousow.org
THE RESOLUTION
BE IT RESOLVED: Shareholders request the Board disclose how Old Dominion intends to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions in alignment with interim and long-term climate targets aligned with the Paris Agreement.
SUPPORTING STATEMENT: Proponents suggest, at management discretion, the Company disclose:
A timeline for setting emission reduction targets; and
An enterprise-wide emissions transition plan to meet evolving consumer demand and regulations, including anticipated costs and emissions reductions.
SUMMARY
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change emphasizes that immediate emissions reductions are necessary to prevent the most severe consequences of climate change. The transportation sector accounts for 28% of total U.S. emissions, making it the largest contributor of greenhouse gas emissions and thereby a critical participant in reducing climate-related risks.1 Investor demand for science-based emissions reduction targets reflects recognition that companies and investors face increasing exposure to physical, competitive, and systemic climate risks.
