Contributing to Africa

While Africa brings her valued resources to the table, so too does ExxonMobil strive to contribute. We want to help develop prosperous, stable communities and believe that good corporate citizenship and best business practices are among our most important exports. We also con-tribute through employment and training, by generating revenue for governments and by deploying our technology and capital to unlock the rich oil basins.

ExxonMobil also has a long tradition of working with the communities where we operate. We support numerous projects in partnership with local governments and aid organizations. They help provide electricity and water for villages, build schools, improve health care services and assist in combating malaria. They also provide opportunities to small businesses and build local capacity. And they support infrastructure projects such as bridge construction, power generation and fresh water projects.

Business Conduct

ExxonMobil is committed to running a business that is responsible as well as profitable. How we achieve results is as important as the results themselves. We strongly believe that corporations have an important role to play in promoting respect for human rights.

ExxonMobil condemns human rights abuses. We make it clear to all of our employees and contractors - as well as military forces that provide security to our operations -that human rights violations will not be tolerated. Our Standards of Business Conduct establish our approach and are consistent with the spirit and intent of the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights insofar as they apply to private companies.

In all our business dealings, we seek fairness and expect the highest ethical behavior. We will advocate the rule of law and be in full compliance with the law ourselves. ExxonMobil opposes corruption in any form. We are firmly committed to honest and ethical behavior.

People

Wherever we operate, employment and advancement at ExxonMobil are based on a person’s ability to perform. Wages are fair and competitive, and we strive to attract and retain superior performers. The level of education of many of our employees is impressive. But regardless of the high level of training they start out with, ExxonMobil’s objective is to provide continued growth and development opportunities through training activities and programs.
