Companies engaged in the oil businesses are increasingly in the limelight and under pressure to adopt techniques that will assure minimum carbon emissions into the environment. In a recent development, the Church of England (COE) has urged BP plc. (ADR) (NYSE:BP) and Royal Dutch Shell plc. (ADR) (NYSE:RDS.A) to cut carbon emission levels and invest more in renewable energy. The COE, along with church commissioners, that manage a $9.5 billion investment portfolio, and the Church of England’s pension board that manages a $2.34 billion fund, both plan to file shareholder resolutions on climatic change in the next four weeks.
