2017 Sustainability Report

Social

Local development and supply chain management

Introduction

Local content — the added economic and social value created by direct and indirect employment of local people through activities of the oil and gas industry — provides value to ExxonMobil and to communities.

We aim to develop mutually beneficial relationships with local businesses throughout our supply chain.
