No-one a winner in Greenpeace stunt

摘要

DARREN Woods had a tough June. The ExxonMobil chief executive had barely had time to assess the damage done by activist investor group Engine No. l's gatecrashing of the company's boardroom when he was forced to issue an unusual public apology on behalf of two loose-lipped corporate lobbyists who had been duped by "undercover reporters" from Greenpeace posing as headhunters. The lobbyists, captured on video, describe how they pressured US lawmakers to oppose corporate tax hikes, regulations, and elements of US President Joe Biden's climate agenda, often under the cover of industry advocacy groups such as the American Petroleum Institute.
