CONTRIBUTING TO SOCIETY
Oil and gas operations have the ability to positively
transform communities. Our approach to engaging the
stakeholders living and working near our sites demonstrates
our fundamental belief that strong, informed communities
lead to a stable business environment. Through public-
private partnerships and ongoing stakeholder engagement,
we work to improve social and economic conditions
wherever we operate. In Indonesia, for example, we
responded to local needs for water infrastructure through
a community partnership that benefited more than 25,000
people in 20 villages. The local community maintains
ownership of the initiative through a water committee that
manages budgeting, construction, and water distribution.
A local nongovernmental organization provided mentoring
and technical assistance, while ExxonMobil contributed
initial funding and ongoing support.
38 EXXONMOBIL 2012 SUMMARY ANNUAL REPORT
ExxonMobil’s community water partnership has benefited
more than 25,000 people in Indonesia.
SUPPORTING LOCAL ECONOMIES
ExxonMobil works systematically to develop local economic capacity in a way that benefits people, communities,
and our business over the long term. Contributing to the economic development of local communities is an important part
of our business. This strategic objective is embedded into our project plans. In 2012, for example, ExxonMobil celebrated
the completion of the first offshore structures to be designed, procured, and constructed in Nigeria. The event represented
years of dedication and collaboration between joint venture partners Mobil Producing Nigeria and Nigeria National Petroleum
Corporation. The project supports ExxonMobil’s goal to build and maintain a reliable and globally competitive supply chain
wherever we operate.
