Can investors change an oil company from within?

Some oil and gas giants are being pushed by shareholders to adopt
more climate friendly strategies.


An environmental law charity is suing the directors of a global
oil company, arguing their climate strategy is not adequate to
meet current targets, supported by other shareholders. Elsewhere,
a group of investors in another fossil fuel giant, recently
unseated multiple board members in an effort to force a change of
direction.
