Our focus areas

ExxonMobil is focused on three key strategies to improve women’s economic opportunities globally:

Build the next generation of business leaders and entrepreneurs
Among the key constraints that women face is the lack of opportunities to improve their business and management skills. Consequently, efforts to provide current and future women business leaders and entrepreneurs with business development opportunities are critically needed.

Reduce barriers to women’s economic participation
In many developing countries, women still face challenging cultural, legal and practical obstacles in generating economic rewards for themselves and their families.  We work with partners to enable women to overcome barriers and become full participants in local economies.  By providing training and leadership skills to women advocates and entrepreneurs, we’re helping to level the playing field.

Help identify and deploy technologies for women
As a global technology company, this is an area we believe we can make a major contribution to help foster access to technologies that improve and strengthen the economic livelihoods of women.
