ExxonMobil in Europe
Activities in Europe

Overview


For more than a century, ExxonMobil has provided energy, products and services that have contributed to Europe's economic growth and to improvements in living standards across the continent.

ExxonMobil is active in almost every country in Europe in activities ranging from exploring for and producing oil and gas, to producing, refining and selling fuels, lubricants and petrochemicals.

We are the largest oil and gas producer in Europe and among the largest refiners of crude oil for fuels and lubricant products. The 7,600 Esso stations provide fuel and non-fuel products to more than three million customers every day. We are also one of Europe's leading petrochemical companies.

How we achieve our results is as important as the results themselves. We have a fundamental commitment to excellence - both in the way we protect the health and safety of all those involved in our operations - and in environmental protection. We strive to be a trusted neighbour and have a long tradition of supporting community projects that improve health and education, preserve nature and promote the arts.
