LONDON - Socially responsible businesses are outperforming the energy sector and are seeing the benefits of being seen as a "greener" company both with consumers and investors. Shareholders and investors in major energy companies want all environmental liabilities accounted for. Imperial Oil shareholders are shortly to vote on a resolution that would require the company to spell out potential financial liabilities associated with its greenhouse gas emissions, and to put in place a plan that would reduce this liability. Petro-Canada is also facing a similar resolution in their next AGM. Shareholder activism is gaining a stronger foothold in the way companies have to do their business.
