A US judge has allowed Exxon Mobil to proceed with its lawsuit against the activist group Arjuna Capital. Exxon Mobil had filed the lawsuit in January seeking to bar a climate resolution proposed by Arjuna Capital. The judge, however, ruled that Exxon Mobil could not pursue its claim against another activist group, Netherlands-based Follow This. The decision comes even after the activist investor group withdrew the shareholder proposal that Exxon opposed.
