Literature Review- Summary:
The project was proposed for Exxon Mobil Corporation to the inclusion of climate change
information request with the aim of reducing emission of greenhouse gases from the companies which
adversely affect the environment. The online response system is used for getting the positive and the
negative comments on the climate change information request. The purpose of this project is to focus
on the steps taken by the company in the direction of preserving climate and environment. The
analysis of the working culture of the enterprise helps in collecting required information about the
process undertaken for productivity which is the major source of waste release in the environment.
The presence of carbon content in the climate can affect the mental and the physical growth of the
people, give birth to many chronic diseases, air pollution, acid rain, environmental degradation,
increase in the level of global warming. It is the serious issue which is raised by the company to take
positive measures to control the release of carbon into the atmosphere (Matsumura, 2014). The
development of the strategic plan helps in controlling the amount of gases released into the
environment. From the study, we have analysed that the difference in temperature occurs due to the
growth of pollution in the surrounding area.
Motivation:
Practical
Motivation
The emission of carbon compounds from the industries and companies are the major
source which adversely affects the environment and the climate.
Various data has been collected which helps in predicting the ill effects of company
waste on the environment.
Exxon Mobil Corporation is looking forward for sustainability and wants to become
word largest company in gas and oil reserves.
The company is looking forward to change its equipment and technology and want
to indulge eco-friendly working environment so as to reduce the emission of smoke
and carbon.
The major concern of the stakeholder is to look upon the environmental problems
which exist with the organization
The target should be set for getting the solution of reducing the emission of
greenhouse gases in the environment
