ExxonMobil has a world-class resource base of
72 billion oil-equivalent barrels, the largest in our industry.
This resource base is diverse both geographically and
by resource type, and underpins our long-term growth.
Just as we make financial investments with a long-term
perspective, we recognize that the challenge of developing
tomorrow’s energy supplies will require the nurturing
of a new generation of skilled scientists and engineers.
We continue to invest substantially in education programs
to attract young people to math and science subjects. We also work to provide teachers with the support needed to
maximize student achievement and encourage interest in math and science-related careers. In 2008 we invested more
than $70 million in education programs worldwide.

Developing the next generation of scientists and engineers
promoting development.
Our long-term focus means that we need a steady stream of scientists and engineers with
new ideas and a passion for innovation to solve tomorrow’s challenges. It is one reason we
are committed to supporting improvements in math and science education.
Our approach to development stretches beyond
education. For example, through a program called
National Content, we strategically plan how the growth
of our own in-country business delivers sustainable
benefits to local economies. National Content covers
three areas – workforce development, supplier
development, and strategic community programs.
Our major community programs include direct
involvement in the fight against malaria in Africa,
where we support advocacy programs, on-the-ground
treatment and prevention projects, and research for
new drugs and vaccines. In addition, through our
Educating Women and Girls Initiative, we seek to
reduce the barriers to progress for women and girls
and support programs that train and empower women
to be catalysts for social and economic development
in their communities.
