ExxonMobil is dedicated to running safe and environmentally responsible operations. It is our long-standing policy to conduct business in a manner that balances the environmental and economic needs of the communities in which we operate.  

ExxonMobil senior management constantly communicates and reinforces expectations of superior environmental performance to all business lines. This leadership-driven initiative is called Protect Tomorrow. Today.

 In addition to strict compliance with applicable environmental legislation and regulations, we continuously seek ways to understand and mitigate the impact of our business on the environment.

We have been recognized for our environmental performance. Our Satellite Field Development (SFD) project was awarded the prestigious Prime Minister’s Hibiscus Award for Exceptional Achievement in Environmental Performance in 2003. The bi-annual award for environmental excellence is sponsored by the Malaysian International Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Business Council for Sustainable Development, Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers and a local environmental non-governmental organization. 

For the SFD projects comprising 11 small, remote-controlled production platforms, we successfully employed a Hybrid Power Generation System that combines solar panels and thermoelectric generators. The solar panels promote the use of clean reusable energy with the added benefits of low maintenance and operating cost, while the thermoelectric generators make efficient use of the associated gas produced by the platforms. The two combine to generate the required power to the satellite fields.

Our Kuantan and Bagan Luar distribution terminals also won the Prime Minister's Notable Achievement Awards for environmental performance.

Our Port Dickson Refinery applies our Global Energy Management System Best Practices to sustain high energy efficiency and further reduce carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) at the plant.  Since 2000, our GHG emissions have reduced more than 20 per cent.  Although not regulated, the Refinery also worked to further reduce its Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions.

In recognition for being one of the more energy efficient refineries within ExxonMobil, Port Dickson Refinery was presented with the Refining Energy Efficiency Award in 2007.

The refinery also undertook major desludging work on its wastewater lagoon in 2006 to improve effluent water quality and further reduce Chemical Oxygen Demand levels.
