strategic health management

In developing countries, ExxonMobil employs a strategic management approach to track employee health and to develop prevention programs and health care services to respond to emerging health issues in a timely manner.

Our Environmental, Social, 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 also support the broader economic and social development of the communities in which we operate. We look for opportunities to strengthen existing infrastructure by improving on-site emergency capability and upgrading hospitals located in the immediate vicinity of our operations.

For example, as part of our Sakhalin-1 Project, Exxon Neftegas Limited invested significant funds to upgrade hospitals and medical equipment in the towns of Dekastri, Nogliki, and Okha in Russia, rather than building separate facilities to meet the medical needs of our workforce. These investments have broadened the capabilities of the hospitals’ surgeons and trauma specialists as well as enhanced the quality of medical services available in the area to both the residents and our workforce.
