NATION : Exxon Quits Board, Gets Insult
- Share via
WASHINGTON — Exxon has resigned from the National Wildlife Federation’s corporate advisory board, calling the conservation group unfair in its criticism of the Alaska oil spill. The unrepentant federation responded today by calling Exxon “a corporate pariah.”
The federation, with 5.8 million members nationwide, accused Exxon of repeatedly ignoring requests to meet and discuss the spill from the tanker Exxon Valdez.
Exxon USA was one of the charter members of the Corporate Conservation Council, a panel of executives formed in 1982 by the National Wildlife Federation to foster “frank and open discussions” between industry and the federation’s leaders.
