as well as environmental and social considerations. All of these factors are then evaluated and locations are ranked to determine the lowest-risk options. There are several cases where we have rerouted infrastructure or chosen an alternative site for a facility to address resettlement-related concerns. When physical or economic displacement is unavoidable, we seek to ensure the restoration of the livelihoods of displaced persons by developing and implementing location-specific resettlement action plans that are informed by consultations with landowners as well as surveying and mapping of housing structures, gardens, wildlife, natural products, harvesting areas and other assets. Assessment teams also identify resettled individuals or groups who may be more affected by the displacement than others. When appropriate, we closely monitor these individuals or groups and assign them to priority resettlement assistance programs. ExxonMobil was not involved in the resettlement of any individuals in 2015. We did, however, complete our resettlement and livelihood restoration process in Papua New Guinea (PNG), including a two-year monitoring process. The project conducted internal outcome evaluation for both standard of living and livelihood restoration of affected households. This program, which was a lender requirement and part of the ESHMP for the PNG liquified natural gas project, was well-defined, well- communicated and well-managed. Closeout was achieved via a formal audit by the lenders, and ExxonMobil was commended for its overall performance and management of the program. Strategic community investments ExxonMobil strives to be a good corporate citizen by working with governments, engaging with stakeholders and partnering with local and international organizations to help enhance the quality of life in the communities where we operate around the world. Whether through the U.S.-based ExxonMobil Foundation, the corporation or international affiliated company operations, we strategically invest in long-term social programs that directly impact our business and align with a host country’s economic and social goals. In 2015, we contributed $268 million to communities around the world.

We focus the majority of our spending on our corporate-led signature initiatives: improving education, combating malaria and advancing economic opportunities for women. We concentrate on these three areas because we believe they help build a foundation for human progress. In addition to our signature initiatives, we provide local invest- ments tailored to address community-specific social and eco- nomic challenges such as workforce development, access to health care and natural disaster recovery support. We consider the development goals of each community when deciding where, when and how best to invest. 1 Total contributions include donations from Exxon Mobil Corporation, our divisions and affiliates, and the ExxonMobil Foundation, as well as employee and retiree giving through ExxonMobil’s matching gift, disaster relief and employee giving programs.
