ExxonMobil has appointed climate expert Susan Avery to its board of directors in an apparent strategic U-turn, just months after facing down a potential shareholder revolt over such a move and other climate-related issues.
Avery, an atmospheric scientist who led the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution from 2008 to 2015, was elected to the oil major’s board with effect from February 2017.
