Do you actually have any idea what the Paris accord requires of countries? A little hint: nothing. Each country sets its own targets which it can adjust as politicians realize that there is 0 chance that they will meet whatever imaginary numbers their predecessors came up with. Many republicans wanted Trump to stay in the accord because they felt the US would be in a better position to ensure future agreements are equally ineffective if they were part of the process.

IOW - Paris is nothing but virtue signalling for pretentious politicians. If companies jump on the bandwagon it is for the same reason.
Luckily industry leaders in the US are planning to adhere to the Paris accord, regardless of Trump. They see where the future is headed, and it ain't in coal.
