Exxon 2012 Annual Report Download - page 39

ExxonMobil’s commitment to corporate citizenship underpinned the strong performance in our Upstream,
Downstream, and Chemical businesses in 2012. From the way we design and operate our facilities to the way we
engage our business partners and stakeholders, our unwavering focus on safety, environmental protection, and
high ethical standards establishes the foundation for everything we do.
Our corporate citizenship approach focuses on addressing the challenge of sustainability – balancing economic growth, social
development, and environmental protection so that future generations are not compromised by actions taken today. We are
committed to making positive contributions to society’s broader sustainability objectives and managing the impact of our
operations on local economies, societies, and the environment.
PROTECTING SAFETY AND THE ENVIRONMENT
The safety of our operations is at the foundation of
our commitment to corporate citizenship. Safety is a
core value for us – one that shapes our decisions every
day and at every level in our operations. We are dedicated
to providing a safe work environment for our employees,
contractors, and the communities in which we operate.
Through our Operations Integrity Management System,
we rigorously and consistently apply high standards and
expectations for safety and environmental performance
across our global operations.
Responsible energy development – critical to social and
economic progress – also requires a commitment to
protecting the environment. Our environmental stewardship
processes are based on detailed analyses that include
environmental and social impact assessments and risk
management. In response to a pre-project assessment
conducted in Alaska, for example, we adjusted our plans
in consideration of local traditions, including texturing and
coating the pipelines to mitigate glare, and building pipelines
a minimum of 2 meters above the tundra to allow caribou
and hunters to pass.

LEADERSHIP IN PROCESS SAFETY
While petroleum operations involve risks, they can be
effectively managed when appropriate measures are
taken. Process Safety focuses on the prevention of
fires, explosions, and releases of hazardous materials
from operating facilities. ExxonMobil is committed to
providing a safe work environment for our employees,
contractors, and the communities in which we operate.
Our process safety approach focuses on reducing risk
through the flawless execution of our Operations Integrity
Management System (OIMS). Rigorously deployed
throughout our global operations, OIMS establishes
expectations by which our facilities are designed,
operated, and maintained in order to continuously
improve our safety and environmental performance.
Employees monitor operations at our
chemical plant in Beaumont, Texas.
