The National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) urges ConocoPhillips shareholders to vote for a proposal separating the roles of Chairman and CEO, currently held by Ryan M. Lance since 2012. The NLPC highlights the company’s declining earnings and what it describes as misleading financial reporting by the board, as well as a contradiction in Lance’s leadership regarding environmental policy and a significant fossil fuel acquisition. The organization argues that Lance’s dual role has led to entrenchment and a lack of accountability.
