Exxon Mobil shareholders to meet amid criticism
Exxon Mobil shareholders will meet this week in Dallas amid growing criticism for the company and its policies, particularly related to gay employees and climate change.
Though much of the scrutiny has come over the past week, after a complaint arguing that Exxon Mobil discriminated against a job applicant because of her sexual orientation, the company has also faced heat for other aspects of its policies and operations.
Among them is an apparent contradiction in Exxon Mobil’s benefits that extends coverage to the same-sex spouses of some employees, but not others.
“Benefit coverage for spouses is based on legally recognized spousal relationships in the individual countries where we operate,” the company says in its Corporate Citizenship Report.
