Report Highlights

ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM) has released its 2008 Corporate Citizenship Report, which is focused on the Corporation’s performance in six citizenship focus areas: corporate governance, health and safety, environmental protection, managing climate change risks, economic development, and human rights and security. To download the report, go to www.exxonmobil.com/citizenship.

The report describes the Corporation’s efforts to meet the projected increase in energy demand to support growing populations and expanding economies while also protecting the environment and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. According to Chairman and CEO Rex W. Tillerson, “In such turbulent times, successful companies are those that see business discipline and corporate citizenship as interlinked. We believe companies that retain a systematic focus on corporate governance, ethics, safety, environmental performance, and community engagement in the down-cycle will be best placed to succeed in the up-cycle.”

For the first time, the report introduces a section on sustainability to provide clarity on the Corporation’s position and actions. A key goal of ExxonMobil’s corporate citizenship strategy is to address the challenge of sustainability-balancing economic growth, social development, and environmental protection, so that future generations are not compromised by actions taken today.

ExxonMobil also established its first independent External Assessment Panel to provide feedback on the report’s strengths and future improvement opportunities. A summary of the Panel’s comments has been posted at www.exxonmobil.com/panelfeedback.

10 million metric ton reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from 2007
