Municipalities to Receive Fuel Coupons for Gasoline, Kerosene or
Diesel
The ExxonMobil Japan Group will donate one million liters of fuel to aid
recovery efforts in areas hardest hit by the earthquake and tsunami in
March.
Coupons for gasoline, kerosene or diesel will be provided to municipal
authorities in the Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures, who will
distribute them according to local priorities. Expected recipients of
the fuel donations will be evacuation centers, construction vehicles and
others in need, including those who assist in maintaining home care for
the elderly and other affected residents.
'The earthquake and tsunami created immense suffering and anxiety in
this area,? said Philippe Ducom, lead country manager of the ExxonMobil
Japan Group. 'Our company, together with independent Esso, Mobil and
General dealers, has worked hard over the past few weeks to restore fuel
supplies to Tohoku but wanted to do more. Together, we hope to make a
positive difference in the daily lives of the tsunami victims through
this donation of fuel.?
The coupons will be redeemable at Esso, Mobil and General stations in
the prefectures starting on April 11.
