Exxon Mobil Won't Discriminate Anyone Anymore

Exxon Mobil shareholders, yesterday defeated proposals of environmentalists and social activists at the annual meeting, The Guardian reported. However, two of the proposals met significant support.

A resolution seeking more information on Exxon's plans to comply with the Kyoto protocol in countries where the greenhouse gas reduction treaty has been signed received backing from 28% of shareholders.

More than 29% supported a resolution calling on Exxon to introduce a clause in its equal opportunity rules banning discrimination based on sexual orientation.
