• Climate Action 100+ investor signatories at ExxonMobil on emissions targets and transition disclosure
  Climate Action 100+ · ExxonMobil · 2025 · Not settled for 2025. Climate Action 100+'s company assessment page for ExxonMobil refuses every request and the Internet Archive returns the same refusal, and the benchmark's own downloadable data for the 2024 and 2025 rounds is refused by the same server, so the June 2025 findings this row asserted cannot be evidenced. What is documented: Majority Action's exempt solicitation filed with the SEC on May 10, 2023 applies the Climate Action 100+ Net Zero Company Benchmark to ExxonMobil and records that the company's medium and short-term emissions expectations are not treated as commitments under the benchmark, that its medium-term target excludes the most relevant Scope 3 emissions, that none of its interim targets are aligned to 1.5 degrees, and that it has met none of the disclosure indicators for capital allocation.
