Sustainability

We recognize the importance of addressing sustainability in today’s global marketplace – balancing economic growth, social development, and environmental protection – so that future generations are not compromised by actions taken today.

Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance, a recognized international management system auditor and certifier specializing in ISO standards, has stated that it believes ExxonMobil to be among the industry leaders in integrating environmental – as well as occupational health and safety management – considerations into its business processes for ongoing operations and project planning.

As the world’s population approaches nine billion people in 2040, we are challenged to not just meet basic needs, but also improve living standards throughout the world. We are committed to meeting the world's growing demand for energy in an economically, environmentally and socially responsible manner. We possess advanced technologies that can safely and reliably supply this energy, while addressing the risks associated with rising greenhouse gas emission.

As part of our sustainability efforts, we believe biofuels should compete on a level playing field with all vehicle and fuel technologies. We advocate biofuels policies that are based on sound science and market principles, while still meeting Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and testing requirements – ensuring appropriate fuel standards are established across the industry.
