ExxonMobile announces that it will double its original relief and recovery contribution of $500,000 to take the total gift to $1million.
The initial donation was given to the American Red Cross to support Gulf Coast communities affected by the fallout from Hurricane Harvey.
This increased sum will be gifted to the United Way of Greater Houston.
ExxonMobil is a sizable workforce within the affected areas of Texas and Louisiana with more than 23,000 employees.
Darren W. Woods, ExxonMobil chairman and chief executive officer , said: “Our thoughts remain with our families, friends and neighbours in Houston and other communities impacted by flooding and other effects of Hurricane Harvey. We will continue to assess needs and to assist government authorities and disaster relief agencies in providing critical goods and services to those in need.”
