strategic community investment
We have a long tradition of investing in programs that support education, health, and infrastructure through the ExxonMobil Foundation and the Corporation. We partner with local institutions, NGOs, governments, and development agencies to design our strategic investment programs. This is an integral element of national content development, and allows us to have a greater impact on the communities in which we operate and helps create regional stability.
The ExxonMobil Foundation awards grants through our two signature initiatives — the Africa Health Initiative and Educating Women and Girls Initiative — to charitable organizations working in Africa and other developing regions around the world where we have significant business operations.
Educating Women and Girls Initiative
Although the education of women and girls is closely tied to good health and women’s economic empowerment, women and girls in many countries do not get the educational support they need and deserve.
ExxonMobil relies on technology and innovation in every aspect of its business, and knowledge of math and science is critical in the energy sector.
As a major investor in Africa, ExxonMobil recognizes that improving health in Africa is a necessary foundation for economic growth and development, and is critical to achieving the company’s business objectives as well.
