Economic development

In Indonesia, ExxonMobil has implemented a microfinance program aimed at fostering entrepreneurship, particularly among women and people with disabilities. The program, established through a group-based credit system, provides small, collateral-free loans, utilizing a peer monitoring system to ensure responsible budget allocation and loan repayment.

This program gives small and collateral free loans by implementing a group-based credit system. The peer monitoring system ensures the borrowers allocate the budget responsibly, repay the loan in a timely manner, and maintain their good credit standing. As a result, since 2008, the program has benefited more than 37,800 people in Polewali Mandar, Bojonegoro, Blora, and Tuban regencies.

Education

ExxonMobil considers education as a driving force for progress and economic growth, and it invests significantly in education programs in Indonesia. We believe students are vital resources for the future, thus it has initiated character-building educational programs in over 90 schools since 2007. The program also helps aspiring teachers through the teachers’ training program in Jakarta and other locations.

Besides that, our education initiatives also aim to enhance the learning process. We have been engaging teachers and school staff to create a fun, joyful, and participative learning environment. Through various teacher training programs, we have improved the quality of teachers and the school’s principals in Bojonegoro, Blora, and Tuban.

The program aimed to enhance student and teacher training, school management and governance, and curriculum development. This holistic approach to education is expected to provide widespread benefits and ensure sustainable educational development.
