In 2009, we established our first External Assessment Panel (EAP) to provide an independent review of ExxonMobil’s corporate citizenship public reporting, including the materiality analysis process, content, clarity, and relevance. The panel’s comments on both the 2008 and 2009 Corporate Citizenship Reports have been used to enhance our external reporting.

As part of ExxonMobil’s commitment to continuous improvement, we are adjusting the focus of external feedback to include ongoing dialogue on citizenship practices, rather than focusing solely on the development of the Corporate Citizenship Report. In 2011, we will establish an External Citizenship Advisory Panel (ECAP), in place of the previous EAP, to provide feedback on the development of ExxonMobil’s citizenship activities, strategy, and communications.

The ECAP consists of five members, external to ExxonMobil, each with recognized expertise in environmental, social, or governance issues. Over the course of the year, panelists will be invited to participate in a range of activities and discussions relevant to citizenship at ExxonMobil. These include reviewing a draft of the 2010 Corporate Citizenship Report and participation in a tour of ExxonMobil operating facilities, which will provide an opportunity for firsthand observation of our operating standards, processes, and programs. Panelists will also convene to discuss environmental, safety, and social issues of external concern. ExxonMobil subject matter experts and senior management representatives will engage with the panelists on these issues.

We anticipate these opportunities for dialogue with the ECAP will not only continue to shape our Corporate Citizenship Report, but will also enhance our overall approach to addressing stakeholder interest in the company’s approach to corporate citizenship.
