Local community efforts

The impact of ExxonMobil on the Rotterdam community

ExxonMobil has been present in Rotterdam since 1891, which has an impact on Rotterdam, the city and its inhabitants. First of all, by creating direct employment and economic added value. But the impact goes much further. Our presence also indirectly results in jobs, through contractors who work for and with us. It contributes to local projects for the community and results in strong cooperation with partners. 

We are part of our environment, nature and society. Delivering a sustainable contribution to the environment of our employees is high on the agenda. With our partners we work together in the fields of education, safety and innovation. Every year, we organize STEM initiatives that win young people over for technology and science. In addition, we support the Educational Information Centre, where pupils see and experience the port of Rotterdam and can discover the many possibilities to work there. We also support Centrum JongerenCommunicatie Chemie (C3), that introduces youth to chemistry and processing technology.

We are part of the future and take our responsibility seriously, by investing in innovation and our environment. Whether it concerns employment, cooperation, or supporting local initiatives, the activities of ExxonMobil are ultimately aimed at a sustainable anchoring, in which we continue to create opportunities for the Rotterdam region and its inhabitants.

Volunteer work

We hold employees who do volunteer work for social and community organizations in high esteem. This is why the organizations in which our employees are involved as volunteers receive financial support.

ExxonMobil Volunteer Fund

Employees who contribute to society in their free time without receiving any personal gain can request financial support from the ExxonMobil Volunteer Fund for the organization or project in which they are active.

The ExxonMobil Volunteer Fund focuses on volunteer organizations dedicated to education or science, improving living environments, people with a handicap, the elderly and underprivileged, combating discrimination, protecting human rights and the environment, and/or stimulating culture and youth activities.
