PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
We believe that through careful environmental
management, we gain a competitive advantage.
To maximize shareholder value and minimize our
impact on communities, we must understand and
actively manage environmental risks.
Our corporate environmental policy and our Protect
Tomorrow. Today. initiative serve as the foundations of our
efforts to achieve premier environmental performance.
Our management framework provides a structured
and disciplined approach that aligns our environmental
priorities with our business objectives, which allows
us to measure progress and continue to find areas of
opportunity to reduce environmental incidents.
Developing technologies that reduce greenhouse gas
emissions without undermining global economic growth
is one of the world’s greatest challenges. At ExxonMobil,
our strategy to reduce emissions in our operations
focuses on increasing our own energy efficiency,
implementing proven emissions-reducing technologies,
and developing breakthrough, innovative technologies.
RISK MANAGEMENT AND EMERGENCY
PREPAREDNESS
The sustainability of our business is based on our
ability to apply consistent processes and systems
to ensure that risks are identified and effectively
managed. Our comprehensive global management
framework – called the Operations Integrity
Management System – is a rigorous 11-point set
of elements that establishes common worldwide
expectations for managing risks and achieving
excellent operational performance. It helps us
mitigate and manage environmental incidents by
designing layers of protection, outlining procedures
for the proper inspection and maintenance of
equipment, providing comprehensive training
materials for our operations, establishing well-
trained emergency response teams, and allowing
us to maintain a relentless focus on safety.
This enables us to pursue challenging new resources
and development projects with the confidence
that we will do so in a safe and environmentally
responsible manner.
