SEC Backs Investor Vote On Fracking at Exxon

摘要

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) backed a shareholder resolution that will let Exxon Mobil investors vote on requesting a report on the financial risks of the regulatory and community responses to hydraulic fracturing. "As the nation's largest natural gas producer, Exxon Mobil needs to set the standard for disclosure on its gas exploration practices and development of safe technology," said Jon Jensen, head of the Park Foundation, which supported the filing of the resolution through shareholder advocacy group As You Sow.
