Collaborations with fossil fuel companies
Agenda item submitted by members
Given the ongoing efforts of the study association W.I.S.V. ‘Christiaan Huygens’ to prioritise sustainability, we (Joep de Jong, Jari de Keijzer, Julian van Dijk & Arian Joyandeh) hereby seek to initiate a conversation regarding our stance on the fossil fuel industry and companies that have been identified as “accelerating dangerous climate change.” In light of this, we aim to propose a list of companies with whom we should abstain from engaging in direct collaboration. To inform our decision-making process, we have thoroughly examined the potential ramifications of such choices and would like to present our key considerations.

To summarise our proposal concisely, we recommend ceasing all collaborations with both Oil and Gas companies, as well as those specifically identified as “accelerating dangerous climate change” according to the Klimaatcrisis Index developed by the Milieudefensie organization. Furthermore, we acknowledge the existence of a grey area encompassing companies that are marked as “doing nothing to prevent dangerous climate change” by Mileudefensie. In these cases, we propose exercising caution and being more discerning when considering potential collaborations with such companies.

General Information
This agenda is provided with time indications of the start of each of the items.

As second part of the General Assembly will be held in the evening, it is possible to order a meal of Eazie in advance (at your own cost) for 5 September. This is possible until Monday 4 September at the Board in the association room or by sending an email to board@ch.tudelft.nl. Meals will be delivered to the Snijderszaal on 5 September at 18:00.
