Environmental Stewardship
We conduct our business in a manner that is responsive to the environmental and economic needs of the communities in which we operate. ExxonMobil Pipeline Company considers risks at every stage of development, and we continuously work to mitigate those risks and improve our environmental performance. We employ an environmental management strategy to monitor our performance in five key areas (see graphic).
Our approach requires our facilities to be designed, operated and managed with the goal of mitigating adverse environmental impacts.
Our Operations Integrity Management System (OIMS) is a management framework that helps put our Corporate Environment Policy into action and establishes common worldwide expectations for addressing risks inherent in our business, including environmental risks.
Our approach is grounded in a scientific understanding of the environmental impacts of our operations and a commitment to develop, maintain and operate projects and decommission assets using appropriate standards.
