Current issues
Issues related to energy production and consumption are important to us all. ExxonMobil invites you to learn more about the topics that affect our company, our industry and our world.
Energy outlook
ExxonMobil expects that global energy demand will be about 30 percent higher in 2040 compared to 2010.
U.S. energy policy
Over 70 percent of current U.S. oil needs are met in North and South America alone.
Environmental performance
As our diverse portfolio of projects spans the globe and requires us to work in remote and sensitive environments, we are committed to operating in a way that protects the environment.
Safety, health and the workplace
Our employees are our most valuable resource and are at the core of ExxonMobil's achievements.
Energy technology
Breakthrough technologies have helped keep pace with rising global energy demand by increasing energy supplies, while also reducing environmental impact.
Hydraulic fracturing policy
ExxonMobil’s Multi-Zone Stimulation Technology (MZST) has opened up tight gas resources by allowing operators to create fractures in reservoir rock at a more rapid rate than conventional technology.
Stable tax policies to spur long-term investment
In 2009 ExxonMobil's worldwide tax expenses amounted to $81 billion, more than four times our earnings.
Capital investments
Meeting growing global energy demand requires sustained investments, through periods of both low and high commodity prices.
Political involvement
ExxonMobil tracks proposed legislation and engages with governments around the world to advocate our position on policies that impact our operations.
Managing climate change risks
Managing greenhouse-gas emissions and meeting growing energy demand requires integrated solutions.
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from our operations
Our strategy is focused on increasing energy efficiency, as well as implementing and developing breakthrough technologies.
Community investment
Making the most of energy resources is about more than oil and gas production — it is about forming a global partnership for development.
Human rights and security
We promote respect for human rights, not just because doing so fosters a stable and productive business environment, but more importantly, because it is the right and responsible thing to do.
Transparency
ExxonMobil is committed to honest and ethical behavior and opposes corruption by supporting transparency.
Exxon Valdez
The accident was the low-point in ExxonMobil’s history. But it was also a turning point.
