Policy

We are aware that public policy decisions made at all levels of government can have significant effects on our current and future operations. For these reasons, ExxonMobil exercises its right to support policies that promote a stable investment climate for long-term business viability and to communicate our positions to the U.S. Congress, state legislatures and governments around the world.

Enabling Energy Abundance

Promoting sound policies that foster innovation and economic growth

By promoting free trade and the rule of law, policymakers can foster an atmosphere in which citizens and businesses identify and pursue new innovations and opportunities, invest and build, and achieve unprecedented success. With sound policies supporting open, competitive free markets, the energy industry and companies like ExxonMobil can help lead an economic resurgence with disciplined investments in new projects, new technologies and new jobs.
