February 2, 2022: On Monday, Exxon Mobil disclosed a sweeping restructuring of its global operations that will combine its refining and chemicals businesses into one and put its energy transition business on a similar footing as its other operations.
The broad restructuring marks its recent cost-cutting effort after activist investors seeking to boost returns and address tn8nhe energy transition won three seats last spring on its board.
Effective April 1, Exxon will be organized with three business lines: its upstream oil and gas production unit, the combined downstream refining and chemicals business, and its recent energy transition business, Low Carbon Solutions, the company said in a filing.
“Aligning our businesses along market-focused value chains and centralizing service delivery is providing the flexibility to ensure our most capable resources are applied to the high corporate priorities and positions us to deliver huge shareholder returns,” Chief Executive Officer Darren Woods said.
The restructuring will not impact fourth-quarter financial results, which the top U.S. producer reports on Tuesday. Past cost-cutting moves and higher oil prices are expected delivering a quarterly per-share profit of $1.93, up from an adjusted profit of three cents a share a year ago.
The restructuring will combine its technology operations, few of which had been assigned under the individual units. Exxon said that the new, single technology organization would be ExxonMobil Technology and Engineering.
Exxon also will relocate its corporate headquarters from Irving, Texas, to its campus north of Houston. That move is expected to be completed in mid-2023.

In an industry as competitive and fast-paced as Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), standing out from the crowd requires innovation and adaptability. The cracks in the CPG supply chain were exposed long before the global pandemic struck, but the events of the past year only exacerbated the weaknesses.
Supply chain leaders, including VPs, often find themselves making bets with unknown financial consequences. Having started with largely infeasible plans generated by deterministic “one-number” planning systems, compounded by unexpected supply or demand disruptions, they are forced into last-minute adjustments to meet operational and financial goals.
Unsurprisingly, today’s supply chain faces numerous issues, including sustainability, technology, global economic and political instability, talent management, and supply chain resilience. Advanced forecasting algorithms and predictive analytics are used in supply chain management to help organizations of all sizes make better decisions by providing insights into what’s going on in their business at any given moment and predicting future trends.
Ensuring the right products are in the right place and at the right time is critical for companies also dealing with supply chain constraints and a high degree of variability. Uncertainty has become the name of the game and the only way to effectively optimize inventory through continuous, data-driven assessments, planning, and decision-making.
Food Huggers, a consumer brand that designs products to reduce waste at home, may be in an enviable position now but before they found Extensiv Order Manager, managing booming orders and staying on top of inventory was a huge operational challenge. The business has inventory spread across multiple geographically distributed warehouses, with orders received via multiple sales channels, including Shopify storefronts and Amazon.
