2015 Corporate Citizenship Report

LRQA’s approach LRQA’s assurance engagement was carried out in accordance with our Verification procedure; the following tasks though were undertaken as part of the evidence gathering process for this assurance engagement: • Reviewing the reported information to confirm the inclusion of all core safety, health and environmental performance indicators referenced in the IPIECA/API Guidance • Reviewing the documented reporting requirements against the applicable industry guidelines to assure consistency of scope, definition, and reporting for each of the relevant indicators • Reviewing the reporting processes at Headquarters and at each of the functional business levels to evaluate the processes used by ExxonMobil to assure completeness, consistency and conformance to reporting requirements across its global operations • Reviewing the stakeholder engagement processes • Reviewing the processes used to aggregate the data and information at the corporate level for inclusion in the CCR • Reviewing ExxonMobil’s data collection tools to assess use in the reporting processes • Reviewing the data-reporting processes at a sample of nine operating sites selected by LRQA to assess local understanding and implementation of reporting requirements. Sites selected were Rotterdam manufacturing complex, Netherlands; Paulinia solvents plant, Brazil; Imperial Oil Resources Limited Cold Lake, Canada; ExxonMobil Chemical Company headquarters, United States; ExxonMobil Development Company headquarters, United States; and lubricant facilities in Serviburnu, Turkey; Vado, Italy; Gravenchon, France; and Tai Cang, China. Observations Further observations and findings, made during the assurance engagement, are: • Processes were in place to ensure that sites contributing to core safety, health and environmental metrics understood corporate reporting obligations and were included in corporate safety, health, environmental and climate change reporting • Methods used for calculating each metric were defined clearly and communicated • Processes were in place to ensure that the quantitative indicators were checked for completeness, consistency and accuracy • Responsibility for annually reviewing and updating reporting guidelines was clear, with improvement in methodology regularly undertaken • Guidelines for greenhouse gas emissions reporting were consistent with, and specifically refer to, the API Compendium for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Methodologies for the Oil and Gas Industry (2009) • Active engagement with external stakeholders provided information for determining material issues

Observations and areas for potential improvement were provided in a report to ExxonMobil’s management. These recommendations do not affect our opinion. LRQA’s competence and independence LRQA ensures the selection of appropriately qualified individuals based on their qualifications, training and experience. The outcome of all verification and certification assessments is then internally reviewed by senior management to ensure that the approach applied is rigorous and transparent. LRQA is ExxonMobil’s certification body for ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 (lubricants operations) and Responsible Care® (chemicals operations) and the California Air Resources Board greenhouse gas verification. The certification assessments are the only work undertaken by LRQA for ExxonMobil and as such does not compromise our independence or impartiality.
