Esso

On our English subject day, the 5th of November, we held a presentation about a large local business, with special focus on international contacts and the use of English. Together with Christina, I talked about Esso. Here is some of the information we found..Esso: Everybody knows esso the gas stations, but esso does more than just selling gasoline, washing cars and selling hamburgers. Esso is a company, and the daughter of a huge international company called exxonmobile. Exxonmobile is based in the US, but has offices all over the world.The owner of Exxonmobile Norway and esso norway is called Morten Mauritzen. The international leaders are called: Andrew P. Swiger, Darren W. Woods, Jack P. Williams, Mark W. Albers, Michael J. Dolan and Rex W. Tillerson (CEO). They are all American, and they belong in the headquarter, and the headquarter is located in Houston, Texas USA. The headquarter in Norway is in Stavanger, because Stavanger is closest to the oil platforms in North Sea. A little funfact: the Scandinavian airline company, SAS, has now a route between Stavanger and Houston, because there are so many oilworkers who travel to Houston quite often. The number of employees in exxonmobile is about 80 000 worldwide, but this it without the Esso employees. The official Esso website had no exact number of employees. It is probably  because it is a hard number to control. Esso and Exxonmobile make mainly gasoline, oil and diesel. They have gas stations all over the world, and the company is a big international company. They do business with countries all over the world, and they have offices in countries like Mexico, Brazil, France, Iraq and etc. Check out the whole list of all the locations here.
