biodiversity conservation
Because our business spans the globe, we operate in a variety of ecosystems, some with sensitive characteristics. To address this challenge, we work under the industry’s highest standards of environmental management. ExxonMobil sites incorporate biodiversity protection through their respective Environmental Business Planning efforts to limit our footprint in sensitive locations. These are tailored to accomplish environmental and biodiversity protection targets that are specific to each location.
ExxonMobil considers that biodiversity conservation can go hand-in-hand with economic development through careful management of the environment. Through strategic community investments, we also support programs that build the local capacity of communities to maintain and protect their natural resources. Our efforts are an integral part of national content development and implemented through our planning tools such as Best Practices in External Affairs.
For new projects and developments, we conduct Environmental, Social, and Health Impact Assessments (ESHIAs) and integrate assessment results into project decision-making.
We updated our Environmental Aspects Guide in 2007 to improve identification and development of appropriate mitigation steps to address potential environmental impacts associated with our operations.
ExxonMobil Foundation, Exxon Mobil Corporation and its affiliates provide support for biodiversity conservation efforts around the world.
