Exxon.
In a matter of decades, demand for oil could be a fraction of what it is today.
Exxon is the 5th largest greenhouse gas emitter of all time1 in a world intent on zeroing out emissions. No amount of PR spin or rhetoric from a board funding dividends with debt since before the pandemic2 can change that. A sustainable solution for long-term investors can only come from an innovative board with a track record of transformative value creation in the energy industry.
Those who lead the world’s biggest companies have an obligation to look to the future. Remember, before the Model-T birthed the age of oil, railroad stocks dominated the globe3. History shows that the market rewards value-focused innovation and punishes the last to change.
The biggest risk to Exxon’s shareholders is that the entire business model lacks long-term viability. The time to start making real, sustainable change is now.
Shareholders, for the long-term value of Exxon, vote the WHITE card.
For today, vote the WHITE card.
For tomorrow, vote the WHITE card.
