Supporting communities

Local investments, focused on economic and educational benefits, are one of the key ways we support communities in which we operate. We work closely with local communities to understand their unique needs, identify and help contribute to long-term, positive local economic and social development, and support effective risk management. The areas below are important parts of our broader approach to supporting communities.

Philanthropy and social contributions

Our corporate and ExxonMobil Foundation contributions support our goal to be an essential partner to communities where we operate. We do this by identifying and addressing key local and company needs. We support a range of programs, with a focus on STEM education.
