Earlier today, ExxonMobil Guyana made a contribution of more than $10M to the Civil Defence Commission (CDC) in support of flood relief efforts across Guyana.
President of ExxonMobil Guyana, Alistair Routledge, handed over the cheque to Director General of the CDC Lt. Col. Kester Craig at their headquarters. Following this, the ExxonMobil official said, “The magnitude of this flood and how it continues to affect so many people across Guyana is truly sad to see. We recognize that there are so many needs at this time, and we are pleased to support the efforts of the Civil Defence Commission in bringing much-needed relief to those affected.”
Further to this, the ExxonMobil Guyana Head reminded that the company has supported training for the CDC’s Voluntary Emergency Response Team (VERT), which Lt. Col Craig indicated is instrumental to the agency’s response efforts.
Craig also pointed to other areas of support over the years such as the CDC’s oil spill response capabilities and labeled the company a true partner.
ExxonMobil Guyana was keen to note that it is proud to be part of a broader group of businesses that have come forward to help the government during these difficult times.
