Strengthened accountability, good governance and compliance promote greater economic stability in the countries in which we operate, and is consistent with ExxonMobil’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. Transparent communications and processes (i.e., hiring, procurement of goods and services, fair and timely compensation for land use/damages, and grievances) are instrumental in gaining and maintaining public and government trust.
Ethics and high standards of business conduct are at the heart of ExxonMobil’s business success and are a part of every employee’s job expectations.
Transparent operations
Our refinery and petrochemical facility in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, works with the local communities in a transparent manner.
We engage the community through our ExxonMobil Community Dialogue and Partnership Panel that regularly meets to provide candid feedback to local ExxonMobil management about neighborhood concerns. We publish a quarterly newsletter to address flaring and aquifer use, publicize community outreach projects and share our annual environmental performance report. We also provide employee-led plant tours for student groups and hold site tours and operational briefings for local and state leaders, government officials and the media. Community members can access updated information on current operations every day of the year through a dedicated information phone line.
