At ExxonMobil, our values aren’t just words — they’re how we show up, focused on delivering the right answer, the right way, every day. We aim higher, setting the global standard for excellence. Together, we create meaningful impact that lasts.
Our purpose is to create sustainable solutions that improve quality of life and meet society’s evolving needs.
Our strategy focuses on maximizing our competitive advantages in scale, integration, technology, execution excellence – and our people – to build globally competitive businesses.
Developing our people and maintaining a strong culture are core strategic priorities and absolutely essential to achieving our long-term objectives.
We are focused on building high-performing teams, enabled by a collaborative and productive environment where individual and cultural differences are respected and embraced, a place where all employees are challenged to deliver their best, can thrive, and reach their full potential.
Our Standards of Business Conduct underpin our culture, supporting our commitment to: equal employment opportunities, prohibiting discrimination in the workplace, and delivering unbiased outcomes in our policies and programs.
We are ExxonMobil
Strong culture. Strong future.
- We are proud to be part of ExxonMobil
- We treat everyone with respect
- We value our people, customers, partners, and communities
- We work hard and have fun
- We listen, learn, and adapt
- We are committed to high standards, operations excellence, and business integrity
- We consistently outperform competition
The strength of our culture has been foundational to our success for decades.
We leverage our We are ExxonMobil culture framework to articulate our core values and leadership expectations. It also outlines key behavioral skills that apply to all employees.
Our expectations of leaders steer the actions and development of our leaders to achieve business results that meet and exceed our strategic business objectives and position us for long-term success.
Our culture is enabled by a strong focus on leadership and key talent systems, including performance assessment, on-the-job experiences, and formal training to consistently develop our people.
ExxonMobil’s legacy is built on a relentless aspiration to be the best. As a worldwide leader in energy, the organization takes its responsibility seriously; performance is measured not only by what is done, but by how it is done. Every day, focus remains on keeping each other safe, supporting economic progress, and delivering the energy and products the world needs. The company aims higher—setting global standards for excellence—and creates meaningful impact that lasts. Addressing energy poverty and climate change requires scale, technology, and execution excellence.
Our 2025 Company-wide survey continues to demonstrate employee engagement and pride in being part of ExxonMobil and the Company’s positive impact on the world, as well as employee understanding of our Company’s purpose and strategy, our progress in fostering a productive and inclusive environment, and our efforts to strengthen our culture.

“Our strong culture sets us apart. Our people share a commitment to excellence and operating with integrity. We are out-of-the-box thinkers who work together to achieve ‘what’s next.’ As a worldwide leader in energy, we believe in impacts that last – from careers that span decades to our long-standing legacy of powering modern life.
Our employees have access to a diverse range of experiences through various roles that stretch them to continuously learn and grow personally and professionally – where you start doesn’t define where you go.”

Total rewards and well-being
Our compensation, benefits, and programs are designed to attract and retain the best talent for a long-term career. Our comprehensive total rewards help our employees thrive in and out of the office.
Highly differentiated pay-for-performance is foundational to our compensation program design. The design of our programs and processes drives unbiased outcomes. Specific to compensation, this results in the same levels of compensation for the same performance, experience, and level, thereby maintaining internal alignment.
Our review of pay outcomes includes comparative analysis of compensation of women and men, and minority and non-minorities in the U.S. Recent third-party analysis, conducted in early 2025, validated that the design of the system is working as intended – compensation is at parity . Analysis across the U.S. population showed a pay gap of less than 0.5% between women and men, and minority and non-minority employees in the U.S.
Over 30% of professional employees1 participate in our stock program, building ownership in our Company’s success. Award levels are tied to classification level and individual performance, in line with our pay-for-performance philosophy.
Our benefits and programs provide care for our employees and their families throughout their careers and into retirement. This includes savings and pension plans, which provide financial stability for our employees, retirees, and their families, underpinned by the financial strength of the Company.
Health and well-being
Our health benefits meet a diverse range of needs, from preventative care and wellness programs to comprehensive coverage. Our health management programs support employees around the globe.
Financial planning
We offer some of the best pension and savings plans in the world, providing financial security into retirement. This is supplemented with financial planning advice available to employees as and when needed.
Long-term security
We provide financial stability for our employees and their families. This includes life insurance, disability leave, and programs that support income stability during difficult times.
Workplace flexibility
Building and sustaining our culture requires intentional effort; one element of this is the teamwork that comes from in-person interactions to strengthen collaboration, development, and innovation, while enabling well‑managed flexibility for specific circumstances. This also includes paid time off and leave of absence to optimize life and work.

Additional life benefits
Beyond our core offerings, our employees gain access to many other programs that may include loan assistance, back-up dependent care assistance, and employee service anniversary awards and recognition.
