Hello ExxonMobil shareholder,

The commitment, experience, and capabilities of our people helped us deliver industry-leading results in 2022 – including earnings, cash flows, and shareholder returns.

Please join us for our Annual Meeting of shareholders, held virtually on May 31 at 9:30 a.m. Central. We’ll highlight our progress and share how we’re working to solve the “and” equation – increasing energy supply and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
