A Dutch climate activist, wanted Occidental to disclose quantitative short-, medium- and long-term greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets consistent with the Paris Agreement. The group's founder, Mark van Baal, said oil companies need to cut emissions by 40% and that Occidental's existing commitments do not guarantee that.
Occidental's board told investors it believes the company is already committed to Paris goals, and to reaching net zero emissions by 2050, with 14 metrics aimed at curbing emissions from its operations and products.
More than 80% of shareholders backed the board's recommendation to keep current commitments set by the U.S. oil and chemical producer, during the company's annual meeting on Friday.
