ExxonMobil's commitment to environmental responsibility goes beyond compliance with regulatory requirements. We are also an active contributor to a range of organisations that conduct important environmental research, protection and education programs. Our support includes the following projects. 

Tracking Marine Life in Southern Waters

ExxonMobil's commitments include support for the latest in satellite-tracking technology to assist in a long-term study of seals that gather on our Bass Strait platforms. The seal research, which is conducted by Phillip Island Nature Parks, has provided valuable data on the foraging and diving habits of Australian Fur Seals.
