Still, a quick glance at the web pages of Shell, ExxonMobil and Statoil (as well as other US and Europeanbased oil companies) reveals significant differences in their perceptions of climate change. What are the strategies adopted by ExxonMobil, the Shell Group and Statoil on the climate issue? Do they merely use different rhetoric to please their clients, consumers and employees, or is the observed difference of a deeper nature? And to what extent have their climate strategies undergone changes during the last decade? In this chapter, these companies’ strategies are assessed and compared with a main focus on a key set of four indicators: (1) the companies’ acknowledgement of the prospective problem of a human-induced climate change; (2) their position with regard to the Kyoto Protocol; (3) self-imposed targets and measures to reduce GHG emissions from their own operations; and (4) the long-term implications of their strategy choice, analysed in terms of the degree of reorientation in their core business areas. With regard to the last indicator, an attempt is made to make qualified judgements regarding the extent to which the strategies of the companies to climate change have implied, and will continue to imply, significant changes in their investment decisions. The climate strategies of ExxonMobil, the Shell Group and Statoil are assessed in relative terms according to a continuum from ‘reactive’ to ‘proactive’ strategies. To the extent that companies acknowledge the climate problem, support the Kyoto Protocol, adopt targets and measures to reduce emissions from 2543Chap3 16/7/03 9:58 am Page 43","PeriodicalId":208198,"journal":{"name":"Climate change and the oil industry","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134511907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chapter 4 revealed that company-specific features with implications for climate strategies are marked more by similarities than differences. The CA model is also incapable of explaining changes in corporate climate strategies. We explore whether the national political contexts in which the companies operate prove more capable of explaining corporate climate strategy. As shown in chapter 2, there is reason to believe that the relationship between the companies’ home-base countries and corporate strategies is important. This link will be analysed in a comparative perspective with the guidance of the Domestic Politics (DP) model. The DP model highlights the extent of social demand for environmental quality, the type of climate policy supplied by the government, and the way in which political institutions link supply and demand, that is, the relationship between state and industry. The basic assumption is that differences in corporate climate strategies can be traced back to differences along these dimensions in the home-base countries of the companies. More specifically, we assume that a high social demand, supply of an ambitious climate policy, and a link between state and industry characterised by cooperation and consensus seeking will lead to a proactive strategy. Conversely, a low social demand, a lenient climate policy, and political institutions that promote conflict and imposition are expected to lead to a reactive climate policy. In this chapter, we focus on the Netherlands, Norway and the 2543Chap5 16/7/03 9:58 am Page 104","PeriodicalId":208198,"journal":{"name":"Climate change and the oil industry","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125315858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
