Environmental management process
Energy and environment
Environmental initiatives
ExxonMobil considers risk at every stage of development, and we continuously work to manage environmental impacts.
Protecting the environment
Understanding the impacts of our operations
Reliable and affordable energy is essential to human progress. At the same time – like all industrial processes – energy development involves risk. Our approach is guided by an in-depth scientific understanding of the environmental impacts of our operations and a commitment to develop, maintain and operate projects using effective management systems, processes and appropriate standards.
Our Operations Integrity Management System is the framework that helps put our Corporate Environment Policy into action by establishing common worldwide expectations for addressing environmental risks.
Protecting sensitive ecosystems
We employ a comprehensive process to understand the aspects of our activities and how these interact with the environmental settings in which we operate. This process also provides a framework to identify actions we can take to avoid, reduce or remedy significant adverse impacts to ecosystems and the communities that they support. Monitoring programs are designed and undertaken to evaluate our performance and identify areas for improvement.
