External Sustainability Advisory Panel Statement

Introduction

ExxonMobil’s External Sustainability Advisory Panel (ESAP) publishes an annual independent review of the company’s Sustainability Report. The ESAP is composed of academics, nongovernmental organization representatives and former government officials with expertise in environmental, social and governance issues.

The ESAP statement represents views on the progress and quality of ExxonMobil’s sustainability reporting and transparency. Due to the timing of the Sustainability Report and the Energy & Carbon Summary, the ESAP statement will be available in March 2021.
