ExxonMobil Baton Rouge Celebrates a Century of Partnerships
The transformation from farmland to world-class petrochemical complex happened over the course of a century, but our company's commitment to our community has been continuous since our beginnings in 1909. As ExxonMobil Baton Rouge celebrates a century of partnerships in our community, we're excited to announce special events that include the many people and organizations who helped make our company so successful over the years. From our many quality employees and nearby neighbors to the schools and non-profits we partner with each day, we're excited to celebrate with everyone.
