ExxonMobil’s Commitment to Respecting Human Rights and Sustainability

Respecting human rights is not only crucial for the well-being of our communities and workforce but is also the morally right choice to make. Our company’s core values of integrity, care, courage, excellence, and resilience serve as guiding principles in every aspect of our operations, including our comprehensive approach to human rights, which is ingrained in our policies, practices, and expectations.

Our unwavering commitment to upholding human rights is rooted in universally recognized principles, driving our operations towards positive impacts on our workforce and communities. We strictly prohibit the use of forced or child labor within our operations and vehemently condemn all forms of human rights violations, actively expressing our stance in dealings with governments and stakeholders.

Integrating human rights considerations into our policies, our Standards of Business Conduct outline the ethical standards expected from our directors, officers, and employees. These standards encompass areas such as compliance with laws, health risk management, open communication channels, environmental sustainability, safety measures, and equal employment opportunities. Our subsidiaries also align themselves with these foundation policies, ensuring a unified approach to upholding human rights values.

Incorporating key elements from the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the UN Global Compact, our policies resonate with the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Additionally, we adhere to the International Labour Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, which supports the elimination of forced labor, child labor, discrimination, and ensures safe working conditions.

Our commitment extends to supporting freedoms such as association and collective bargaining, along with advocating for the elimination of forced labor, child labor, and discrimination in employment. We align our practices with global standards such as the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights, the U.N. Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and the ILO Convention 169 for Indigenous and Tribal Peoples in Independent Countries.

With a focus on positive, productive, and supportive work environments, our Statement on Labor and the Workplace underscores our dedication to fostering a culture of respect and fairness within our organization. The Statement on Security and Human Rights further emphasizes our commitment to protecting personnel, facilities, and operations while upholding human rights principles in all interactions with security providers, both governmental and private.

In conclusion, our commitment to human rights underscores our dedication to ethical business practices and societal well-being. By embedding human rights considerations into our operations, policies, and practices, we strive to create a sustainable future that respects the dignity and rights of all individuals involved in our business ecosystem.
