The Fife Ethylene Plant (FEP) in Scotland is operated by ExxonMobil Chemical. The 210 employees at our Fife plant have worked closely with local communities for over 15 years. The company supports and enhances local projects by providing one-off financial payments to support community led work, as well as dedicating time and resources to support larger projects tackling major social issues such as drug abuse, the environment, health and education. The following are a few of the ways we try to make a positive difference to our local community.

A liaison committee gives managers and local community representatives a forum for regular dialogue about local issues and opportunities. The committee has also been involved in the organisation of events such as ExxonMobil-sponsored theatre trips and lunches for over 1,000 senior citizens each year.

Over 8,000 fifth and sixth year school pupils have attended the Safe Drive Stay Alive roadshow sponsored by us and organised by Fife Emergency Services. The hard-hitting stage show makes young people stop and think about the consequences of careless driving.

We supported Energy Action Scotland's information campaign that gives advice to those who feel the cold or live in a cold home environment. We have also sponsored their energy efficiency programme for local authority buildings.

Our support for three BTCV Green Gyms at Lochore Meadows, Townhill Woods and Dalgairn Centre, Cupar, combines conservation and healthy exercise - with people using outdoor manual work to improve their wellbeing and the local environment.

Employees have given more than 100 hours of their spare time assisting Fife Ranger Service on the Dalbeath March Environmental Project at Hill of Beath.

Children entering the ambulatory care unit and children's ward at Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy, are finding it less traumatic due to the bright furnishings and equipment bought with our donation.

24 local organisations and charities have benefited from employees and their families devoting their spare time to voluntary work. Grants totalling over £13,000 have been made available to the organisations supported, through the company's Volunteer Involvement Programme and Governor Scheme

ExxonMobil's Link Schools programme has supported 16 local primary and secondary schools through science grants of up to £1,000 and environmental education programmes.
