Fossil fuel giant ConocoPhillips has been asked to disclose the taxes it pays and profits it makes worldwide in a resolution presented at the company’s annual shareholder meeting in Houston. The resolutions represent the first time that ConocoPhillips shareholders have been asked to vote on the issue. Comparable proposals have been introduced elsewhere in the industry. The resolution was put forward by Oxfam America and gained support from tax transparency and climate advocates outside the meeting. ConocoPhillips’ call to its shareholders to vote against the resolution was described as indicative that the company was attempting to conceal information. Full country-by-country disclosure by ConocoPhillips of its profits and taxes would align the company with the Global Reporting Initiative tax standard.
