Strategic health management

ExxonMobil maintains an active commitment to the communities in which we work. We believe that self-sustaining improvements in public health are a key enabler for broader economic and social gains. In developing countries, ExxonMobil employs a strategic management approach to track employee health and to develop prevention programs and healthcare services to respond to emerging health issues in a timely manner.

Our Environmental, Socioeconomic, and Health Impact Assessment (ESHIA) process helps us identify opportunities for addressing potential health impacts associated with our projects. By incorporating workforce and community health considerations into project planning, we play a role in addressing the broader economic and social development of the communities in which we operate.

For example, Papua New Guinea has limited public health reporting systems, making understanding the full scope of disease particularly challenging. In response, we conducted health impact assessments and launched disease prevalence surveys to determine the scope of disease to which our workforce may be exposed.
