	ExxonMobil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Exxon Mobil Corporation or ExxonMobil NYSE: XOM, headquartered in Irving, Texas, suburb of Dallas, Texas, is the largest oil producer and distributor in the world, formed on November 30, 1999, by the merger of Exxon and Mobil.
		Exxon Chemical Company became a worldwide organization in 1965 and in 1999 was a major producer and marketer of olefins, aromatics, polyethylene and polypropylene along with specialty lines such as elastomers, plasticizers, solvents, process fluids, oxo alcohols and adhesive resins.
		Exxon's long-time mascot is a Tiger; Mobil's mascot is a Pegasus which dates back to the late 19th century and is one of the oldest marketing symbols still in use.

		It is the headquarters of Exxon Mobil, and it houses a plush management suite that is known across the energy industry as the "God Pod", with the reverence befitting a corporation which last month emerged as the most profitable in the history of human endeavour.
		Exxon Mobil, which trades in Britain as Esso, does not believe in the certainty of global warming - it casts doubt on evidence that industrial emissions of greenhouse gases are raising temperatures.
		But perhaps more importantly, Exxon's executives appear to hold sway over a man who once dreamed of rivalling their success but failed as an oil man and had to settle this year for becoming president of the United States.

	POL 280 \| Alaska After Exxon Valdez
		Exxon’s move to be the leader of cleanup put in place a whole new group of managers who were unfamiliar with the Alyeska Contingency Plan and the state as a whole (Piper 1992: 14).
		Exxon’s second mistake was that their initial volume of information about their cleanup plans was not large enough (Exxon PR 2004).
		Exxon is a parent corporation of Alyeska, it was their job to make sure that Alyeska was up to date and prepared to deal with a spill.

	There's no accounting for the Exxon Valdez. (accounting for costs incurred from environmental damage)
		Exxon said its net income for the June 30, 1989, quarter, after the spill-related expense, amounted to $160 million, or 13 cents a share, a pittance compared with the previous year's second-quarter net of $1.2 billion, or 90 cents a share.
		Exxon's accounting staff must have racked their brains- and their disclosures files-to find some precedent for spreading the cleanup costs, either forward or backward.
		It's unlikely the "implicit" social contract between Exxon and the residents of Prince William Sound was based on the assumption that a major environmental accident was probable.

		Exxon's presentations, which will continue through Thursday, are building a case that the 11-million-gallon spill, the worst in U.S. history, had only short-term consequences and that government scientists are wrong when they report that it may take decades for the Sound to fully recover.
		Exxon's chief scientist at the symposium, Hans Jahns, said the paper was scuttled because Manen's co-author was not a chemist.

	BW Online \| April 9, 2001 \| Exxon Unleashed
		Exxon's clout is not just a function of its overwhelming size and wealth, nor of its central position in the most strategic of industries--oil.
		Exxon Mobil continues to collaborate with General Motors (GM), Toyota Motor (TM), and others to develop fuel-cell technology, but this is probably best characterized as a hedge against the company's massive wager that demand for oil and gas will continue to increase steadily to 2010 and beyond.
		Exxon may be the largest private-sector oil producer, but with 5.6% of the world's output of 77 million barrels a day, it has nowhere near enough clout to set prices.

		In regard to addressing the actual problem, which Exxon claimed was its first priority, it took company officials nearly 10 hours after the accident to deploy booms to contain the spill.
		In addition, Exxon was criticized for refusing to acknowledge the extent of the problem, which was due, in part, to the advice of the company's legal counsel.
		The biggest criticism the company received was the fact that CEO Lawrence Rawl waited six days to make a statement to the media and that he did not visit the scene of the accident until nearly three weeks after the spill.
