Supporting brutal / repressive regimes:
Involved in oil production in Malaysia, Chile, Indonesia, Colombia, and elsewhere.
Damaging the environment:
Five reasons not to by ExxonMobil oil:
1. Esso/ExxonMobil tries to convince the public that global warming isn't happening even though Esso/ExxonMobil is one of its main causes. It spends millions of dollars on misleading propaganda every year.
2. Esso/ExxonMobil has played a leading role in sabotaging international attempts to stop global warming. It would rather sell more petrol than protect future generations.
3. Esso/ExxonMobil doesn't believe renewable energy has a future. "With no readily available economic alternatives on the horizon, fossil fuels will continue to supply most of the world's energy needs for the foreseeable future." --Lee Raymond, ExxonMobil CEO, 1997
4. Esso/ExxonMobil is the biggest oil company in the world - its profits totalled more than US$12 billion in 2000. If anyone can afford to help stop global warming it's Esso/ExxonMobil.
5. Esso/ExxonMobil was one of the main financial contributors to George Bush's election campaign. As soon as George Bush became president, he announced that the US would pull out of international agreements to stop global warming - exactly the position that Esso/ExxonMobil was promoting.

ExxonMobil and the pro-war lobby groups:
ExxonMobil has a record of funding right-wing industry front groups who lobby on their behalf to 'protect US business' and keep the US addicted to oil. It is no coincidence that many of these groups have an analysis of foreign policy that leads them to lobby for an attack on Iraq.
