Will it have an impact? Exxon says, "our emissions were ___ amount of CO2, ___ amount of methane, [etc.]" Then they say, "by the way, we couldn't give less of a shit" and go back to business as usual. How does this change anything they do? As the article even says, plenty of them are voluntarily reporting it anyway.

Just another opportunity for green washing. The Exxon report should just be a letter-headed page saying “yes”.
