ExxonMobil supports programs targeted to worldwide health issues because we believe that good health is a springboard to opportunity, achievement and development.
Health support falls into several categories, the fight against global health pandemics, support for medical centers/hospitals, health education and health-care delivery, health and the environment, and health-related research.
Support is provided at both the international, national and local levels, with the latter limited to communities where ExxonMobil has large facilities and/or large concentrations of employees.
In the United States, our main focus is public health education and research as it relates to our business. We also support research and public education related to childhood asthma and other related illnesses.
From the establishment of the Africa Health Initiative in 2000 through year-end 2007, ExxonMobil will have spent more than $40 million to help fund organizations and programs fighting the spread of malaria.
The purpose of our StopAIDS program is to keep employees and contractors healthy and disease-free, and to educate HIV-positive workers on how to live safely with the illness.
