New York City Employees Retirement System filed a shareholder resolution asking Exxon Mobil Corp. to adopt an explicit policy barring discrimination based on sexual orientation, said New York City Comptroller Alan G. Hevesi. The $41 billion system decided to file the resolution after Exxon Mobil announced it had canceled both the sexual-orientation discrimination protections and the domestic partnership benefits that existed at Mobil before the company completed its merger with Exxon. Trillium Asset Management presented a similar resolution at Exxon’s annual meeting earlier in the year.
