Energy Efficiency in the


Mining Sector

Bowman Mitchell
Brand & Strategy Advisor
This presentation includes forward-looking statements. Actual future conditions (including economic conditions, energy demand, and energy supply) could differ materially due to changes in technology,
the development of new supply sources, political events, demographic changes, and other factors discussed herein (and in Item 1A of ExxonMobil’s latest report on Form 10-K or information set forth
Sustainability Trends in the Mining Sector

The industry at large is being held to a high standard for performance


with respect to safety, environmental care and community support

This concern for the mining industry’s social performance is not only
expressed by regulators, environmentalists and local governments,
investors and banks have added a layer of scrutiny when considering
investing in or lending capital to mining companies

In this new world order, increasing attention is paid to image and actions
with respect to sustainability and environmental performance when it
comes to capital and partnerships
