In regards to our discussion yesterday about Exxon Mobil I decided to do a little research about the company. By exploring their website I discovered that Exxon is doing a lot of great things. They have created many programs including a program that they do during the summer in which they recruit 65 interns and send them to work at local non-profit organizations in the Houston area. They also support the Global Climate and Energy Project which combines pre-commercial basic research with the practical know-how of major corporations, in hopes of accelerating the development and use of low greenhouse gas-emission energy technologies. The research focuses on developing solutions— through breakthroughs in fundamental science and engineering science— that will help meet society’s objectives for abundant energy, high efficiency, clean air, and substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.

I also found this great ad which shows Exxon’s support of helping people in Africa with Malaria:

I think this ad is a great thing for Exxon Mobil, I think it shows some of the positive things that the company is doing to help out. It would be so easy and beneficial for Exxon to put more of these kinds of things out on the web. I have never seen this commercial and I never knew about all of the positive things that Exxon is doing. Of course, I have never looked but I think it would be great for Exxon to promote some of these positive ventures more and they could easily combat some of the negative presence they have in social media.
