ExxonMobil is committed to achieving and maintaining excellence in environmental care throughout our operations.  Our aim is to continuously improve our performance with the goal of driving operational incidents with environmental impact to zero.

We structure the management of our operations and delivery of leading environmental performance around our Operations Integrity Management System (OIMS). OIMS provides a structured framework for operational standards of safety, health and environmental protection.

It is a requirement that all of our operations observe the strict systems and practices that flow from OIMS.

We support this commitment to operational excellence through ongoing planned investment in plant and equipment, training and process improvements.

We monitor and measure our performance through a range of consistently defined Environmental Performance Indicators. These indicators include:

• Energy efficiency
• Greenhouse gas and other air emissions
• Spills to water and land
• Waste
• Operating permit compliance

Continuous improvement means continuing to find better ways to perform. With this in mind our Safety, Health & Environment (SHE) organisation has implemented a global initiative aimed at further improving our environmental performance.

The program is centred on the banner “Protect Tomorrow. Today”. This initiative was developed to provide additional guidance and drive environmental progress in the same way that ‘Nobody Gets Hurt’ drives safety performance improvements.

The program involves an increased focus on further improving operating practices and an increased emphasis on quantitative targets and measures.
