The safe operation of ExxonMobil’s facilities is of great importance to ExxonMobil shareholders. According to one academic study, each casualty resulting from a petrochemical industrial accident corresponds to a market capitalization loss of $164 million, and that each toxic release corresponds to a loss of $1 billion.1 In our opinion, retaining an experienced workforce is a critical human capital management practice for ensuring the safe operation of petrochemical facilities. This proposal seeks disclosure of human capital management information that relates to flaring events and the risk of industrial accidents. According to ExxonMobil, Flaring is used in various stages of exploration and production operations throughout the world, primarily as a safety measure to prevent the accumulation of gases that could pose a potential safety hazard.2 For example, ExxonMobil’s Beaumont, Texas refinery experienced an operational issue which required flaring on June 25, 2021.3 On May 1, 2021, ExxonMobil locked out approximately 650 workers at its Beaumont, Texas, refinery and its blending and packaging plant. During the lockout, ExxonMobil has operated these facilities at reduced capacity with temporary replacement workers. We believe that ExxonMobil’s decision to operate these facilities with temporary replacement workers creates potential safety risks. In our view, temporary replacement workers lack the skill, training and experience of ExxonMobil’s permanent workforce. Flaring events and the risk of industrial accidents have a broad social impact on ExxonMobil’s workforce, the communities that it operates in, and the environment. We are concerned that the use of temporary replacement workers may increase the risk of such incidents. For these reasons, we believe that ExxonMobil’s Board of Directors should review the use of temporary replacement workers in ExxonMobil’s operations and provide greater transparency by issuing a report to shareholders. We urge you to vote FOR this shareholder resolution.
