best practices in external affairs

At ExxonMobil, we are continually working to enhance the quality of our community engagement and external relations. Our Best Practices in External Affairs (BPEA) initiative is our strategic planning and management tool for global external affairs, which allows ExxonMobil affiliates to seek and practice excellence in community relationships and national content development. This tool helps us better understand the viewpoints and concerns of the diverse communities in which we operate. In 2007, we implemented BPEA as part of the Community Awareness element of OIMS for key facilities across our global operations.
