US Agency Drops Exxon Climate Investigation

摘要

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has wrapped up an investigation into Exxon Mobil’s disclosure of the risks that climate change could pose to the giant oil company and does not plan to take action. The SEC’s regional office in Fort Worth, Texas, wrote to Exxon to say that it had concluded the investigation, which was launched in January 2016 (OD Sep.21’16). "Based on the information we have as of this date, we do not intend to recommend an enforcement action by the [SEC] against Exxon,” the office’s director, Shamoil Shipchandler, wrote.
