ExxonMobil Corporate Citizenship Report Outlines Improvements in Environmental, Economic & Social Performance



    Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) improved its environmental, economic

    and social performance while continuing to supply energy necessary for

    economic growth and improved living standards, the corporation said

    today in its 2007 Corporate Citizenship Report. The report details how ExxonMobil reduced greenhouse gas emissions, led

    the industry in worker safety and oil-spill prevention, and contributed

    more than eight times its earnings -- a record $336 billion -- to

    economies around the world through taxes and purchases of goods and

    services. "We are proud of our financial and operating

    results, but we are equally proud of our culture of integrity and

    commitment to act in a safe and responsible manner towards employees

    the environment and local communities," said

    Rex W. Tillerson, chairman and chief executive officer. "How we achieve our results is every bit as

    important as the results themselves." ExxonMobil is working on technologies with the potential for near-term

    impact on greenhouse gas emissions, while at the same time looking for

    breakthrough technologies for the future. Near-term initiatives include:

    Investing more than $100 million on improving natural gas treating

    technology, which could reduce costs for carbon capture and storage.

    Working with manufacturers of automobiles and commercial industrial

    vehicles to increase fuel economy by as much as 30 percent.

    Helping to enable the next generation of lower-emission hybrid and

    electric vehicles through the development of new film technologies to

    greatly enhance the power, safety and reliability of lithium-ion

    batteries.

    Conducting research and development of an on-vehicle hydrogen

    production system, which has the potential to improve vehicle

    efficiency by up to 80 percent while improving safety and eliminating

    the need for a hydrogen distribution infrastructure.

    Longer-term initiatives include:

    Conducting internal research and supporting academic research to

    accelerate development of commercially viable energy technologies to

    lower emissions on a global scale -- such as hydrogen production

    storage and use; biomass and solar energy; carbon dioxide capture and

    storage, and advanced transportation and coal technologies.

    Partnering with the European Commission to study carbon capture and

    storage in the CO2ReMoVe program, a research initiative to establish

    scientific monitoring systems and determine the reliability of

    geological carbon dioxide storage.
