Exxon
Major oil corporation
Exxon is a major American oil and gas corporation, now part of ExxonMobil after merging with Mobil in 1999.
The name, created in 1972 to replace Esso, was designed to be distinctive and meaningless.
The company is often invoked in discussions of fossil fuel interests and climate policy: Exxon knew about climate change decades ago.
