Exxon investors, unhappy after results, push clean energy
Dozens of unhappy investors told Exxon Mobil Corp. on Tuesday to move more quickly and forcefully to improve returns and focus on clean energy, hours after the oil company reported an historic annual loss and said it added a new director to its board.
Exxon reported a net annual loss of $22.4 billion for 2020 and named Tan Sri Wan Zulkiflee Wan Ariffin, the former head of Malaysia’s state oil company, as an independent director.
The board change failed to mollify critics who want Houston-based Exxon to overhaul itself by focusing more on clean energy to improve its financial performance.
