Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) improved its environmental,
economic and social performance while continuing to supply energy
necessary for economic growth and improved living standards, the
corporation said today in its 2007 Corporate Citizenship Report.
The report details how ExxonMobil reduced greenhouse gas emissions,
led the industry in worker safety and oil-spill prevention, and
contributed more than eight times its earnings -- a record $336
billion -- to economies around the world through taxes and
purchases of goods and services. �We are proud of our financial and
operating results, but we are equally proud of our culture of
integrity and commitment to act in a safe and responsible manner
towards employees, the environment and local communities,� said Rex
W. Tillerson, chairman and chief executive officer. �How we achieve
our results is every bit as important as the results themselves.�
ExxonMobil is working on technologies with the potential for
near-term impact on greenhouse gas emissions, while at the same
time looking for breakthrough technologies for the future.
Near-term initiatives include: Investing more than $100 million on
improving natural gas treating technology, which could reduce costs
for carbon capture and storage. Working with manufacturers of
automobiles and commercial industrial vehicles to increase fuel
economy by as much as 30 percent. Helping to enable the next
generation of lower-emission hybrid and electric vehicles through
the development of new film technologies to greatly enhance the
power, safety and reliability of lithium-ion batteries. Conducting
research and development of an on-vehicle hydrogen production
system, which has the potential to improve vehicle efficiency by up
to 80 percent while improving safety and eliminating the need for a
hydrogen distribution infrastructure. Longer-term initiatives
include: Conducting internal research and supporting academic
research to accelerate development of commercially viable energy
technologies to lower emissions on a global scale -- such as
hydrogen production, storage and use; biomass and solar energy;
carbon dioxide capture and storage, and advanced transportation and
coal technologies. Partnering with the European Commission to study
carbon capture and storage in the CO2ReMoVe program, a research
initiative to establish scientific monitoring systems and determine
the reliability of geological carbon dioxide storage. The Corporate
Citizenship Report details ExxonMobil�s commitment in five areas �
environmental performance, workplace, corporate governance,
transparency and human rights and community development. The report
is available at www.exxonmobil.com. Other highlights include: A
record low rate of lost time safety incidents for the company�s
combined employee and contractor workforce, continuing ExxonMobil�s
industry-leading safety record. Industry-leading oil spill
prevention results, including no spills from ExxonMobil-operated
marine vessels for the third consecutive year. Community investment
spending of more than $206 million, which included $12.4 million in
grants through ExxonMobil�s Africa Health Initiative and more than
$6 million through the company�s Educating Women and Girls
Initiative. In addition, ExxonMobil became a founding sponsor and
committed $125 million to the National Math and Science Initiative
as part of the corporation�s continued commitment to math and
science education. The Corporate Citizenship Report was prepared in
accordance with the reporting guidelines and indicators of the
International Petroleum Industry Environmental Conservation
Association and the American Petroleum Institute Oil and Gas
Industry Guidance on Sustainability Reporting. The majority of
these indicators are also consistent with the indicators used by
the Global Reporting Initiative in the G3 Sustainability Reporting
Guidelines Version 3.0.
