I'm going to assume that this is either a PR move, or intended to position Exxon to sabotage any meaningful agreement for emissions cuts.

Look at good guy Exxon sticking up for the planet /s

It's an easy PR win for them, cause the Paris Agreement is more symbolic than anything, as it is woefully ineffective at actually punishing countries for failing to meet targets, so if Trump chooses to stay, they can milk the environmentally friendly PR and the status quo continues. It actually hurts them if Trump chooses to leave cause it puts them into the spotlight.
