The Jarige Job Foundation
Every year, more than 150,000 children celebrate their birthdays with the help of the Jarige Job Foundation, because there is no money for it at home.We support this foundation in several ways. For example, volunteers started packing birthday boxes and we had filled 471 birthday boxes in two hours. This box is full of treats for the classroom, decorations and goodies for the visitors at home and a nice gift and reading book. Everything you need for a real birthday, at home and at school. It was a real party and we are looking forward to the next wrapping edition!

The Forgotten Child Foundation
Last year, the safety results during major maintenance in Rotterdam Botlek resulted in a donation of € 10,500 to The Forgotten Child. The Forgotten Child is committed to the thousands of children in the Netherlands who do not get the chance to be children due to problems in their home situation. Our donation contributes to the various programs they organize where children can forget their worries for a while by having fun, making friendships and creating positive memories. So that they can look to the future in a positive way. Think of the Heppie Holidays & Weekends, the Heppie Tour and the Heppie Box.
Nissewaard / Spijkenisse
In our neighboring municipality of Nissewaard (where many of our employees live) we sponsor all kinds of activities. For example, as the main sponsor, we support the SpijkenisseFestival - an annual music festival, free of charge.
Food banks in the Rotterdam region
ExxonMobil has been supporting the Rotterdam Food Bank and Spijkenisse Food Bank with donations for years. Our contributions help the organization to cover operating and transportation costs.
Poverty is a major problem in Rotterdam and the surrounding area, with many people living below the income threshold. The food banks offer people who are financially struggling a helping hand in the form of a temporary food package. After all, with a full stomach, you can work better on your future.
EIC Mainport Rotterdam & Portlantis
Every year, twenty thousand students from all over the country are introduced to the versatility of work in the port at the EIC Mainport Rotterdam (Educational Information Centre) located in Rozenburg. Together with companies, the EIC team ensures that the port of Rotterdam is visible and that young people can discover their talents. In addition, the center organizes excursions and other activities for the students. ExxonMobil is one of the driving forces behind this popular interactive exhibit (such as the operator simulator and the Chemistry House).
Portlantis, on the reclaimed land of Maasvlakte, is a new state-of-the-art experience centre where visitors are introduced to the dynamic world of the port of Rotterdam. Here you will gain insight into the significance of the port for society, our economy, the living environment and yourself. It shows what the future could look like and major changes such as energy transition and digitisation are explained in an attractive and understandable way. With the opening of Portlantis, the EIC will be housed here.
Speelnatuur - nature playground on Tiengemeten
ExxonMobil is also one of the sponsors of OERRR's Speelnatuur, the natural playground on the island of Tiengemeten in the Haringvliet near Rotterdam. This island of Natuurmonumenten is the place to play, discover nature and enjoy a "holiday feeling".
STEM - getting young people excited about technology and science
For years, ExxonMobil has participated in Girlsday and Science Weekend. During Girlsday, science, technology or IT departments of companies throughout the Netherlands open their doors to girls aged 10 to 15. The girls can participate in interesting activities, meet female employees and learn more about STEM work.
The Weekend of Science is there to give everyone, from young to old, insight into the world of science and technology in an accessible way. Volunteers from ExxonMobil then do chemistry experiments with the children. The experiments come from the ExxonMobil-sponsored C3 Foundation, which promotes chemistry among young people.

ExxonMobil contributes to the DeltaPORT Donation Fund - providing financial contributions to non-profit organisations active in the field of culture, welfare, sports and recreation in the immediate vicinity of the Rotterdam port and industrial area.

The impact of ExxonMobil on the economy and the inhabitants of Rotterdam
ExxonMobil has been present in Rotterdam since 1891, which has an impact on Rotterdam, the city and its inhabitants. First of all, by creating direct employment and economic added value. But the impact goes much further. Our presence offers jobs also indirectly, through contractors who work for and with us. It contributes to local projects for the community and results in strong cooperation with partners. Take the local bakery, the florist, or the people in the company restaurant or security.
