ExxonMobil Reiterates Non-Partisanship Pledge Amidst Calls for Guyana's Campaign Finance Reforms

Georgetown, Guyana - ExxonMobil Guyana Limited has reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining a non-partisan and neutral stance in Guyana's political landscape as the country considers possible reforms to its campaign finance laws. The revelation comes amidst heightened discussions about the potential impact of such changes on oil and gas companies operating in Guyana.

In an industry-wide statement, ExxonMobil reasserted its long-standing policy of eschewing involvement in national politics by refraining from making contributions to any political entity outside the United States. This stance excludes all affiliated companies, except Imperial Oil, a Canadian subsidiary.

While ExxonMobil has been a major player in Guyana's oil and gas sector, with several high-stakes projects currently underway, the company has emphasized its dedication to upholding a non-partisan reputation and avoiding any perceptions of undue influence over the country's governance.

The position of ExxonMobil aligns with industry standards practiced by international energy companies engaged in extractive activities worldwide. It remains to be seen how these regulations will evolve in Guyana, but for now, ExxonMobil solidifies its dedication to remaining above the fray.
