Can investors change an oil company from within?

28 min13 mars 2023

Some oil and gas giants are being pushed by shareholders to adopt more climate friendly strategies.

An environmental law charity is suing the directors of a global oil company, arguing their climate strategy is not adequate to meet current targets, supported by other shareholders. Elsewhere, a group of investors in another fossil fuel giant, recently unseated multiple board members in an effort to force a change of direction.
