U.S. energy policy
Over 70 percent of current U.S. oil needs are met in North and South America alone.

Safety, health and the workplace
Our employees are our most valuable resource and are at the core of ExxonMobil's achievements.
Energy technology
Breakthrough technologies have helped keep pace with rising global energy demand by increasing energy supplies, while also reducing environmental impact.
Hydraulic fracturing policy
As the world’s largest public natural gas producer, ExxonMobil brings supplies of this cleaner-burning energy source to global markets in a safe, reliable, and responsible manner.
Stable tax policies to spur long-term investment
In 2011, ExxonMobil's U.S. tax expenses totaled more than $1 billion per month on average.
Capital investments
Meeting growing global energy demand requires sustained investments, through periods of both low and high commodity prices.
Political involvement
ExxonMobil tracks proposed legislation and engages with governments around the world to advocate our position on policies that impact our operations.

Community investment
Making the most of energy resources is about more than oil and gas production — it is about forming a global partnership for development.
Human rights and security
We promote respect for human rights, not just because doing so fosters a stable and productive business environment, but more importantly, because it is the right and responsible thing to do.
Transparency
ExxonMobil is committed to honest and ethical behavior and opposes corruption by supporting transparency.
