At ExxonMobil we strongly believe that our commitment to the highest standards of business conduct is crucial to our long term business success. Our reputation for honesty and ethics has a solid foundation, and forms a key component of our approach to corporate citizenship.

Our Business Principles

The following principles guide our relationships with our shareholders, customers, employees and communities:

Shareholders
We are committed to enhancing the long term value of the investment dollars entrusted to us by our shareholders. By running the business profitably and responsibly, we expect our shareholders to be rewarded with superior returns. This commitment drives the management of our company.

Customers
Success depends on our ability to consistently satisfy ever-changing customer preferences. We commit to be innovative and responsive, while offering high quality products and services at competitive prices.

Employees
The exceptional quality of our workforce provides a valuable competitive edge. To build on this advantage, we will strive to hire and retain the most qualified people available and to maximise their opportunities for success through training and development. We are committed to maintaining a safe work environment enriched by diversity and characterised by open communication, trust and fair treatment.

Communities
We commit to be a good corporate citizen in all the places we operate worldwide. We will maintain high ethical standards, obey all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and respect local and national cultures. Above all other objectives, we are dedicated to running safe and environmentally responsible operations.


While we maintain flexibility to adapt to changing conditions, the nature of our business requires a focused, long term approach. We consistently strive to improve efficiency and productivity through learning, sharing and implementing best practices.
