ExxonMobil donates fuel to Japan for recovery effort

ExxonMobil announced that it will donate one million liters of fuel to the areas damaged by the earthquake in Japan. Local municipalities will receive redeemable coupons for gasoline, kerosene or diesel fuel, which will distribute them as needed for evacuation centers, construction vehicles and aid vehicles. Philippe Ducom, country manager of the ExxonMobil Japan Group said, “The earthquake and tsunami created immense suffering and anxiety in this area. Our company, together with independent Esso, Mobil and general dealers, has worked hard over the past few weeks to restore fuel supplies to Tohoku but wanted to do more. Together, we hope to make a positive difference in the daily lives of the tsunami victims through this donation of fuel.” (April 8, 2011)
