Dallas, Texas- In response to the shareholder passing of a proposal that would require Exxon to report on the risks global climate change policies and technologies pose to its current business model, Greenpeace USA Senior Climate & Energy Campaigner Naomi Ages said:
“Exxon’s shareholders are finally acknowledging what the company still refuses to – that the age of oil is nearly over. People and communities in this country deserve and want lives powered by renewable energy and we cannot let Exxon and the oil industry’s greed get in the way. The vote from shareholders this week that forces Exxon to face the music of its own record is not perfection, but it is certainly progress.”
