Meeting global needs - managing climate change business risks j ExxonMobil Page 6 of 6<br />

likelihood of an event at the regional or local level in comparison to global<br />

averages is even more difficult.<br />

Nevertheless, ExxonMobil robustly engineers its facilities and operations<br />

with extreme weather considerations in mind. Local climate, as well as<br />

potential changes in local conditions over the life of the investment (such<br />

as changes to sea level or permafrost), are carefully assessed and<br />

considered. Given the spatial and temporal uncertainties of many<br />

extreme weather events, particularly with respect to future changes in<br />

climate, facilities are generally engineered to be resilient to extreme event<br />

"tails," with the inclusion of additional safety factors built in to cover a<br />

number of engineering uncertainties.<br />
