Healthy North, Healthy SouthSince 2013, ExxonMobil in partnership with the National Women’s Health Foundation has implemented a health care program for residents of the Extreme North and the Krasnodar Territory focused on combating cancer. The choice of the program was dictated by the fact that cancer diseases are the most important risk factor leading to early deaths among the Extreme North residents. Notably, over the last 12 years, cancer rate in the Murmansk Oblast went up 77%.

Understanding the importance of combating cancerous diseases to the residents of the Extreme North, ExxonMobil for five years has supported infrastructure upgrading projects with the aim of improving the quality of cancer diagnosis and patients’ rehabilitation in the Murmansk and Arkhangelsk regions. In 2016, the cancer combating project was expanded to cover the Krasnodar Territory facing the same severe problem.

Training for medical personnelAlong with the installation of the new medical equipment in 2016 and 2017 in the Extreme North region, on-the-job training was provided to radiotherapists with ExxonMobil’s support, including master-classes supported by educational learning material made available to the local specialists.

ExxonMobil is focused on social projects designed to improve health care and living standards in the regions of its operation. For many years, the Company has supported a number of charitable projects leading to a better quality medical care, upgraded medical equipment and materials, and higher professional qualification of the medical staff. We highly appreciate successful collaboration and commitment shown by the medical facility officials and the administration of the regions housing our women’s health programs.

Five specialists from the Murmansk and Arkhangelsk regions took a two-week personal training course organized on the basis of the Blokhin Russian Oncology Research Center through online consultations. After such trainings, the leading medical centers in the region were able to do breast imaging reporting in compliance with the BI-RADS international standard.

In the fall of 2018, a major scientific and practical program was organized in Krasnodar for radiotherapists on the role of conventional X-ray imaging in

oncology. The conference and master-classes were held in the Prof. Ochapovsky Medical and Research Center and Hospital #1 with expert support by the Blokhin Oncology Research Center. The program involved 230 radiotherapists based in the Krasnodar Territory and improved local expertise in cancer diagnosis, osteology, and breast cancer radio-diagnosis.

Special medical equipmentFrom 2016 through 2018, the following diagnostic equipment was bought and delivered under the charity program for the Murmansk Regional Oncology Center:

A unit for digitizing and processing mammographic images

A telemedicine-based screening mammography unit

A video colonoscope

A hand-carried color ultrasound scanner

Three health care facilities in the Arkhangelsk region - the Arkhangelsk clinic oncology center, the Arkhangelsk municipal outpatient hospital #1, and the Sverdlovsk municipal emergency aid hospital #2 received:

In 2018, the Prof. Ochapovsky Medical and Research Center and Hospital#1, leading medical facility in the Krasnodar Territory

received a donation of a telemedicine-based module with a digital information system, which also supports remote medical

consultations on a wide range of cancer treatment issues with experts from the national oncology center.

The equipment bought for the medical facilities in the Extreme North improved the quality of early diagnosis and created a platform for data consolidation and consultations with experts from the national oncology center. In 2017, the Sochi Oncology Center #2 received the BTL-6000 Lymphastim and Bioptron-2 physiotherapy modules and rehabilitation sets (mastectomy prosthesis and underwear) for cancer patients.

Psychiatric OncologyPsychological care for cancer patients is standard practice in the developed countries included in the treatment and rehabilitation programs and significantly improves the effectiveness of conventional cancer treatment methods. Russia has no training system for medical psychologists in psychiatric oncology, hence, before the Healthy North Program, the Arkhangelsk and Murmansk Oblasts hadn’t had a single certified cancer psychologist.

The unique training course was developed with the help of leading medical practitioners whose goal was to provide clear action algorithms to medical psychologists at each stage of cancer treatment process, as well as a set of practical psychological support methods for medical teams, and instruct them in psychological group therapy for cancer patients.

In March 2017, a two-week training program was successfully conducted in Arkhangelsk on the basis of the North Medical University with the support

from ExxonMobil. The program evoked great interest from the medical university participants and faculty. Twenty-two program participants, specialists from government-run medical facilities in the Murmansk and Arkhangelsk regions, and Krasnodar Territory earned a completion certificate from the North Medical University for the upgrading course of psychological care for cancer patients and their families at all stages of the treatment process.

Upon completion of the training program, the best students received grants for group psychotherapy treatment of female cancer patients in their respective towns. ExxonMobil Russia sponsored psychotherapy group sessions for cancer patients held free of charge in Murmansk, Monchegorsk, Arkhangelsk, and Sochi. The groups were attended by 67 women.

Unique service to cancer patients provided free of chargeIn 2018, ExxonMobil supported a new project initiated by the Foundation, the establishing of Russia’s first charity support center in Moscow for women diagnosed with breast cancer, named Vmeste (Together). The concept of the

Center reflected the best international practices of psychological care for cancer patients.

The unique program developed by the Center caters for the needs of recently diagnosed patients and those released from hospitals after treatment. The Program includes individual consultations of cancer psychologist, group psychotherapy, and consultations with an oncologist, dietitian, lymphatic system specialist, and medical lawyer, as well as support to the cancer patient’s family, special aid (mastectomy prosthesis and underwear), etc. ExxonMobil sponsored computer equipment and internet purchase for the Center.

The deployment of the information management system in the Center and the development a technical platform for on-line services are in progress with financial support from ExxonMobil. Soon, the Center will be able to provide services on-line to patients across Russia.

Medical care for orphaned childrenIn 2015 and 2016, the Nadezhda (Hope) charity foundation with the support from ExxonMobil Russia Inc. implemented a comprehensive aid program to orphaned children, including social integration of foster home graduates in five Russia’s regions focusing on education, social integration, and medical care.

The medical care program was designed as a comprehensive health care initiative and included extended medical help at professional health care facilities controlled by the Nadezhda foundation, the promotion of healthy lifestyle, as well as targeted help to children in emergency situations. Among other services, the program provided a better access to dental practitioners for the children, and supplied them with sports equipment and medication.

In 2015 and 2016, 112 children received dental treatment in the Center’s dental office.

A responsible attitude to their health was cultivated in the children through entertaining interactive games, including a series of talks on healthy food and healthy lifestyle, instruction in healthy cooking, meetings with professional fitness trainers, outdoor activities, sports competitions and tournaments, and regular training in a gym. The feedback received from the project members suggests that the program facilitated the development of a conscious attitude to their health in the children and motivation for taking good care of it.

Care for people with developmental disordersOne other area where ExxonMobil Russia Inc. has provided charitable support is helping people with developmental disorders and disabilities. Our mission is to foster an environment encouraging self-realization of the people in need of special support and their active engagement in public life.

Curative teaching centerIn 2015 and 2016, ExxonMobil Russia Inc. supported several programs designed by the Curative Teaching Center for children with multiple developmental disorders.

The Curative Teaching Center holds annual development and rehabilitation field classes in the form of integrative summer camps for children suffering from multiple health disorders. Under the program, therapeutic teaching sessions were held with a group of children suffering from severe and multiple developmental disorders like autism, ICP, mental retardation, genetic syndromes, movement or other disorders. The summer program was conducted in a scenic Valdai area near Novgorod, where health care specialists organized teaching and entertainment in various formats, including day hikes, parent groups, etc. All those events helped the children connect to and engage in the world around them through various therapeutic activities.

For many families with children suffering from developmental impairment such integrative camp is the only recreational opportunity outside the city limits. In the absence of a centralized comprehensive care system, such families face serious problems at the household and community level. In the camp, both the children and their parents find themselves in a friendly atmosphere of acceptance and solidarity, they receive professional consultations and psychological trainings, share their experience with other parents, and enjoy the respite allowing them to spend pleasant and useful time with their children.The Curative Teaching Center holds annual development and rehabilitation

«While our kids were busy taking classes in the teaching center, we parents became good friends. Being together gives us strength. The kids recognize one another and feel happy, celebrate one another’s birthdays. Misha, Masha and Alyona communicate very well. It would be nice if they could communicate with other kids as well. The camp is invaluable time for us because we are together».

Care for children with Down syndromePartnership between ExxonMobil Russia Inc. and the Downside Up Charitable Foundation started more than nine years ago. Downside Up is the only organization in Russia catering for children with Down syndrome and their parents on a gratuitous basis. For more than 20 years, the Foundation’s charitable programs are available free of charge to children with Down syndrome from birth to age 7, and since 2017, also to teenagers.

Statistics show that each year one in every 700 babies on the planet is born with Down syndrome regardless of the place of residence, the parents’ life style, harmful habits, or other factors. In our country, about 2,200 babies a year are born with Down syndrome. Children with Down syndrome cannot be “cured”. Normally, they need no medication or special food, but they do need continued development training, and their parents need professional support and assistance.

The Foundation’s programs are focused on meeting those needs through various consistently organized events, from home visits to infants before their first birthday to individual consultations and group sessions for children in different age groups with speech therapists, special education teachers, psychologists, and experts in the development of movement skills and cognitive capacities. The Foundation publishes and makes widely available special methodological literature on Down syndrome for parents and specialists; provides online consultations to families in the forum; conducts practice-sharing seminars and does a lot more.

ExxonMobil Russia Inc. sponsors the Foundation’s programs designed to encourage children with Down syndrome to lead a full productive life, facilitate their active and dignified lifestyle and engagement in the world around them, and build their self-confidence. In their work, Downside Up professional teachers and psychologists rely on the expertise of the leading Russian and foreign researchers and practitioners, use scientifically proven approaches to child development challenges, and design their own methods based on their multi-year practice. The therapeutic care programs include dance and play gymnastics, special development classes in various disciplines,

and speech development sessions – the work covers aspects of child development and education facilitating social adaptation of children with Down syndrome, preparing them for independent life, successful communication with same-age children, and attending nurseries and schools.

In addition, the Foundation offers an educational program to Down syndrome specialists in order to share international expertise and best practices with the teaching personnel.

EducationAvailability of education to all, including disadvantaged children, is the goal ExxonMobil is seeking to achieve through a wide range of educational programs across the world. Quality education should be available to all, and to that end, we put considerable effort and resources in improving educational opportunities for widely different social groups.

The Lomonosov State University (MGU) Museum of Earth SciencesExxonMobil Russia Inc. is highly pleased to support young and inquisitive talents, future top professionals. Specifically, in 2015 and 2016, a charity training and research program under the name Develop through Acquiring Knowledge was implemented on the basis of the Lomonosov State University Museum of Earth Sciences by the National Foundation for Personnel Training with the company support. The Program curriculum developed by Russian scientists, university researches and faculty members was intended for school students aged 12 to 16 who participated in tours, master-classes, and quests in the Museum of Earth Sciences under the guidance of volunteers from students and faculty of the Moscow State University and other higher educational institutions.

For the first time in the Museum’s history, a structured training course was provided to volunteers on how to educate schoolchildren and methodological guidelines were issued to help them conduct interactive educational sessions with school students. Specifically, five theme tours were organized: Geotectonics and Constitution of Earth, Volcanoes and Volcanicity, Mineral

Rocks, Mineral Diversity, and Mineral Wealth. Over 100 school students from Moscow and Moscow regions took the tours organized for them under the Program.

The Program members also provided qualified professional consultations and methodological support to school students instructing them on how to conduct and document research in geosciences.

The children were involved in training and scientific research projects the best of which were recognized by special awards delivered at the program closing ceremony.

Care for children living in orphanages and orphanage graduatesSocial orphans – who are they? They are children who have no adults to look after them, even though one or more parents may still be alive. Regretfully, the last several years saw a steady increase in the number of such children. The Government undertakes to provide social care to such children; still, they need help both while living in orphanages and after graduation, to be able to adjust to independent «adult» life.

22

In Russia, ExxonMobil Russia Inc. provides charitable aid to several foundations working with a highly vulnerable group of young people: graduates of orphanages and orphaned children. These children have a special social and psychological status suffering from a critical or near-critical stage of psychological distress caused by the parents who let them down, violence they had suffered, failure to adjust to their school environment, or their life on the streets in anti-social environment. They badly need help in order to adjust to the highly challenging independent life in the adult world.

In 2015 and 2016, ExxonMobil Russia Inc. in continued collaboration with the Nadezhda (Hope) and My Vmeste (We Together) Foundations implemented a comprehensive program providing assistance to orphaned children in their social adaptation efforts in five Russian regions focusing on education, social integration, and medical care.

The We Together Foundation

The educational Program comprised several diverse modules aimed at social rehabilitation of orphanage graduates. The key goal here was to develop professional motivation in orphanage and residential care home graduates, assist them in acquiring a profession, provide tuition, and improve their knowledge levels through exposure to the history and culture of their homeland.

Regretfully, the level of education and the quality of social and psychological care provided by residential care homes and orphanages to the children left in their care is not always up to the mark, which puts the children at risk in the future. The Program developed by the Nadezhda (Hope) Foundation was focused on filling those gaps seeking to prepare the graduates to challenging real-life situations, teach them how to make independent decisions and take responsibility for their future, and helping them find their way in the professional world.

The educational Program was aimed at social rehabilitation of orphanage graduates

The enthusiastic team effort at gardening brought good results

23exxonmobil.ru

The Program provided for: • professional orientation training and tours of operating production facilities; • teaching computer literacy; • assistance in acquiring a profession; • assistance in raising the graduates’ knowledge levels as needed for enrollment in higher educational institutions; • educational tours (lectures, group visits of theater shows and museums, etc.).

Also, targeted assistance was provided to orphanage graduates receiving higher education in Moscow colleges and universities.

The Dacha Continuing Education ProgramThe unique Dacha program implemented by My Vmeste (We Together) charitable foundation deserves special note. It is intended for graduates in need of support in the hardest period of their lives, at a time when they are mastering a profession after graduation from orphanages and starting their work careers. In that period of their life, most graduates have nobody around them to provide the much needed guidance and support, it is difficult for them to find their first job and hold down to it. The absence of social support prevents them from finding proper orientation in the adult world. Charitable contributions from ExxonMobil Russia Inc. enabled the Me Vmeste Foundation to implement a program for 60 residential care home and orphanage graduates named Dacha (a countryside house). The Program members lived and worked with their curators in small countryside houses (dachas) in the Kostroma and Vladimir regions.

Working outdoors in the fresh air under professional guidance, the children learned how to use their leisure time in a productive manner and discovered the specifics of farming, working on land, carpentry, and needlework. Creating an appropriate infrastructure facilitating achievement of specific tasks, the Dacha Program specialists brought the children closer to nature and helped them benefit from curative effects of manual labor and collective

efforts. To cite one example, growing vegetables for their own consumption was the first step towards self-support and overcoming their dependence on charity. The children were highly inspired to see that they can use the results of their own labor and their enthusiastic team effort at gardening brought good results: the children harvested 6 sacks of potatoes, 2 buckets of carrots, 5 containers of tomatoes, 2 buckets of beetroots, 4 containers of onions, 2 buckets of garlic, 7 pumpkins, 15 kilos of cucumbers, and 20 cabbage heads, as well as apples, strawberries, small radish, and greens.

Under the same Program, the Foundation also bought several sheep, and by joint effort installed a heating system in the house built back in 2014 with the support of ExxonMobil Russia Inc. for the children who stayed there in order to tend for the animals in the winter season. The youth also put a lot of effort in beautifying their houses. They built a sheep stable and erected a fence.

It is important to note that the skills acquired and values adopted by the children under the Program will stay with them for a long time: the children were helping the elderly village residents around their dachas on their own accord: cut the grass, chop up firewood, and plough their land plots. In 2015, the children erected a monument to the village men killed in the Second World War, taught needlework to local village kids, and prepared gifts for their village neighbors.

Big change in the lives of orphaned childrenIn 2018, ExxonMobil provided sponsorship support to the Big Change charity program for children living in orphanage and orphanage graduates. The Foundation is helping orphanage students and graduates, as well as adopted children, to get worthy education and become members of society in their own right. The focus here is on individual approach and educational environment based on trust and respect.

In 2017 / 2018 academic year, at least 70 children and adults aged 15 to 30 who lived in and graduated from Moscow orphanages benefitted from the Program.

Volunteer Initiatives of ExxonMobil Russia Inc.Every year, ExxonMobil volunteers are highly enthusiastic participants of the Charity Sports Programs. Their involvement attracts public attention to the people with Down syndrome and encourages friendly attitude to such people showing that they should be treated as equals.

For many years, our employees have participated in charity runs, bicycle races, and skiing competitions.

The Day of CareVolunteers from ExxonMobil Russia Inc. also enjoyed visiting the Dacha for the Day of Care organized by the Company. They worked in the garden, brought gifts to the children and helped them with their household chores. Each volunteer was delighted to see the achievements of their wards who felt increasingly more at home in the «adult» life.

Economic opportunities for womenExxonMobil is building its business on the principle of equality, which explains why improv-ing economic opportunities for women is high on the Company’s priority list. In addition to creating favorable working conditions and the atmosphere of equality at its own facili-ties, the Company also invests in programs aimed at economic empowerment of women and facilitating their increasing presence in the economy as the starting point for the de-velopment of equal opportunities for society in general.

3Handmade arts of the women participating in the Female Entrepreneurship Support and Women’s Economic Opportunities Enhancement Programs

27exxonmobil.ru

ExxonMobil proactively implements programs supporting female entrepreneurs and improving economic opportunities for women wherever it operates. ExxonMobil Russia Inc. has provided charitable contributions to several such projects seeking to develop female entrepreneurship in Russia.

Committee of 20 Program supporting female entrepreneurshipIn 2015, the “Committee of 20” Association of Women - Business Leaders, with financial support from ExxonMobil held a number of educational conferences, round tables, and seminars aimed at further development of female entrepreneurship.

The Russian law does not define the concept of “female entrepreneurship”, and Russia has no government-sponsored programs which would grant exemptions or envision special protection measures for the benefit of women entrepreneurs, like it is done for instance in Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan. The initiative of the Committee of 20 represents a successful effort of creating a forum for discussion of challenges faced by female entrepreneurs and the potential solutions, as well as sharing the best practices used by women

entrepreneurs. The Conference was attended by operating entrepreneurs, officials of women’s organizations promoting the idea of female entrepreneurship in local environments, aspiring entrepreneurs, government officials of various levels, and the mass media.

Nine interregional events were held under the project in Murmansk, Arkhangelsk, the Krasnodar Krai, and in Moscow. For instance, the Conference attracted 115 delegates from 13 municipalities of the Arkhangelsk region. The Murmansk conference was attended by 120 people. The Conference discussion was conducted in several formats (from presentations by key speakers to real case reviews) and focused on such subjects as female leadership, social entrepreneurship, government support to entrepreneurs, including the social development sphere. Also, certain key practical issues specific to female entrepreneurship were considered, including how to get child care allowance, how to manage all-male work teams, how to handle the problems associated with creating jobs for women

with small children, and how to register as a provider of social services. The Program members highly appreciated the practical value and usefulness of the subjects chosen for presentations and trainings, as well as the immediate relevance of the issues discussed by the Conference panelists.

The Energy of Success ProgramAnother initiative promoting women’s economic activities is the program named Energy of Success implemented in 2015 and 2016 by the National Foundation for Personnel Training with the financial support by ExxonMobil Russia Inc.

The Program was aimed at creating a favorable environment for female entrepreneurship in the region, the development of local talent, and building a special infrastructure for aspiring female entrepreneurs allowing them to create businesses which would generate revenue in addition to bringing pleasure. The Program also helped women entrepreneurs find colleagues, like-minded persons, and partners.

The Program focused primarily on folk souvenir manufacturing and sales projects and envisioned several educational and training events. The Project comprised several modules: the information module aimed at engaging women in the Project, the online educational module in the form of webinars and classroom sessions broken up into three sub-modules, the project oversight and business plan compliance phase, as well as wide media coverage in social networks and other Internet resources.

A number of seminars were held with educational purposes in order to identify potential members of the Program in the Arkhangelsk Oblast. The Program attracted 40 women, including 20 who came out with business plans for manufacturing traditional Arkhangelsk folk souvenirs; 3 women registered as independent entrepreneurs, and 7 made a decision to do so.

The Energy of Success Program became popular among female residents of the Arkhangelsk Oblast and was highly appreciated by the regional government authorities and public organizations.

Benois de la Dansе, Russian «Ballet Oscar»Since 2011, ExxonMobil Russia Inc. has supported the international ballet festival Benois de la Dansе. The festival program includes the award of the Benois de la Danse prize and two charity gala-concerts organized by the regional non-profit organization Benois Center.

The International Ballet Prize Benois de la Dansе known to the world as ”Ballet Oscar” is awarded annually for the highest achievements in choreography in the preceding year.

Members of the Benois jury chaired by the prominent Russian choreographer Yuri Grigorovich are eminent figures in the world of choreography, acclaimed choreographers, heads of major ballet companies, and the brightest ballet stars. The Benois de la Dansе prize was founded in 1991 in Moscow by the International Dance Association (now the International Union of Choreographers) and in the same year was first presented on the stage of the Russia’s Bolshoi Theater.

The competition was accepted under the patronage of UNESCO immediately after its establishment in appreciation of its huge creative potential and the ability to influence the development of ballet dancing in Russia and across the world. In 1996, the competition was included in the program of the World Decade of Culture.

In June 2018, ballet stars from 22 world’s leading ballet companies gathered in Moscow to participate in the festival. In 26 years of its existence, Benois de la Danse saw 200 soloists from 34 countries performing on its stage with more than 130 exemplary ballet masters from around the world sitting on the jury in different years. The support from ExxonMobil Russia Inc. has given ballet lovers an opportunity to enjoy the performance of the world’s brightest ballet stars. The festival prize winners include such renowned ballet dancers as Svetlana Zakharova, Diana Vishneva, Ulyana Lopatkina, ballet stars of the Paris National Opera and State Ballet Berlin, the La Scala Theater Ballet (Italy) and Rhein Ballet (Germany), the UK Royal Ballet and Hamburg Ballet (Germany), the Norwegian National Ballet and Complexions Modern Ballet

(New York), the Béjart Ballet Lausanne (Switzerland) and Joffrey Ballet (US), Le Ballet Preljocaj, and other acclaimed ballet groups. The Benois prize For Lifetime Achievement was awarded to such iconic figures in the world of dance as Mikhail Baryshnikov and Alicia Alonso, Marina Semyonova and Maurice Bejart, William Forsythe and John Neumeier, Twyla Tharp and Trisha Brown.

The Benois de la Danse gala concerts give the opportunity to see the best new performances of the year which appeared on ballet stages across the world, and also show the never fading art of the festival prize winners of previous years, choreographers and dancers, the pride and legends of the world’s ballet stage.

The funds raised by the Benois de la Dansе gala concerts are used to support Russian ballet veterans. The funds are delivered to them in the form of individual material aid.

The Pokrovsky Cathedral: Symphony of FlowersThe State Historical Museum organizes annual art-festival bringing together professional and amateur artists. The festival events held both indoors and outdoors are open to all who come to enjoy the Pokrovsky Cathedral interior and surrounding area and try their hands at depicting their own vision of that masterpiece of world’s architecture and a symbol of Russia.

In 2015, an artistic festival, Symphony of Flowers was held in the Pokrovsky Cathedral (St. Basil`s Cathedral) the general sponsor of which was ExxonMobil Russia Inc. For the first time ever that internationally renowned Russian architectural monument housed flower and sculptural compositions from natural materials which highlighted the beauty and harmony of the Pokrovsky Cathedral. The festival was attended by children who created a volumetric image of the Pokrovsky Cathedral from flowers.

A number of artistic sites were created as part of the festival program for the guests to create flower and sculptural compositions, and for musical concerts on wind instruments, and lectures on the need for environmental protection and husbandry. All festival events taken together produced a holistic image of the unique beauty of the Pokrovsky Cathedral blended with the beauty of music and flower compositions. The event was highly appreciated by its participants.
