Boycott Title

Exxon Mobil Corp: Fueling Hate Since 1999

Boycott Description

Shareholders at the world’s largest oil company continue to reject a proposal to add “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” to the company’s official equal employment opportunity policy.   “ExxonMobil continues to have the dubious distinction of being the only Fortune 50 company that refuses to add sexual orientation and gender identity to their non-discrimination policy and is stuck in the ever-shrinking minority of businesses that don’t offer domestic partner benefits” said Human Rights Campaign Foundation President Joe Solmonese.

“It is irresponsible for ExxonMobil to ignore overwhelming shareholder support and not to join the majority of companies that provide equal protections and benefits to all families.”

ExxonMobil is the only company in America to have had a written non discrimination clause that included gays and to have rescinded it.

LGBT workers had been included in employment policies at Mobil. In December 1999 when Mobil merged with Exxon and under Exxon’s direction the policy was abandoned. At the same time it closed Mobil’s domestic partner benefits program to any more employees.

A total of 423 – 85 percent – of Fortune 500 companies include sexual orientation in their non-discrimination policies and 176 – more than 35 percent – include gender identity including ExxonMobil competitors BP Corp. Chevron Corp. Dow Chemical DuPont and Shell Oil.

 

Boycott Demands

We demand that Exxon Mobil Corp adopt BOTH sexual orientation AND gender identity to the company's official equal employment opportunity policy by August 10 2010.  Until then we will boycott the use of all Exxon Mobil products and continue to diseminate truthful information about the hateful and inhumane employment policies of this company.

Exxon has knew about climate change since the 1960s

Exxon was the first to discover climate change.  They knew about it since the 1960s!  The world could have been making corrections since then, had Exxon not suppressed the information.

Bite me Exxon

I've been boycotting these clowns' products for many years due to their billing practices (calling at 7:00am on a weekend), irresponsible lobbying, gouging the American people and their disastrous environmental policies.

I know I'm only one person but I represent thousands of dollars in lost revenue to them (I know a drop in the bucket) but at least my conscience is clear.

Thank you, Exxon - 5/29/11 12:45 PM

Thank you, Exxon

This shows just how powerless a boycott really is.

This is rediculous!!

NOBODY should be discriminated against! We are ALL human beings. None of us are better than anyone else. If this company doesn't want to add "sexual orientation" and "gender identy" to their non-discrimination policy than DON'T WORK THERE and DON'T BUY THEIR GAS!!!! Pretty simple. I don't buy Pepsi products or support them in any way because they support the gay/lesbian movement. I am not running around making a big stink about it! Don't you have anything better to do besides worry abut the policies and procedures of different companies? Seriously....
