The primary objectives incorporate the restriction of greenhouse gas emissions, reduction in global warming, appointment of a climate expert on the board, reports on fracking activities and climate change impact assessments.

ExxonMobil is one of the eight global energy companies that maintain guiding principles on methane reduction. The primary focus is on constantly lowering methane emissions, improving performance across gas value chains, developing accuracy of methane emissions data and supporting sound policies as well as regulations on methane emissions.
