NEW YORK (Reuters) - "It's still the same old Exxon."

That's the sentiment being expressed by environmentalists and
shareholder activists gearing up for Exxon Mobil Corp.'s (NYSE:
XOM) annual meeting this week in Dallas.

Under Tillerson, Exxon's "tone is not as harsh," Connecticut
State Treasurer Denise Nappier said at a press conference last
week.

"There's not a lot of rhetoric, but when you get beyond that the
policies are very much the same as they were under the old
leadership," she said.

Shareholder activists claim that the company is insular and
resistant to change. Moreover, despite a campaign to improve
its environmentally unfriendly image, critics allege Exxon is still
funding groups that mislead the public about the causes of
climate change.
