埃克森的1亿美元STEM捐赠被圭亚那官员称为公关特效, 官员说这忽略了体制上的不平等和税收漏洞。 Exxon’s $100 million STEM donation called a PR stunt by Guyanese officials who say it ignores systemic inequities and tax loopholes.

圭亚那官员和专家将埃克森公司1亿美元的STEM承诺作为没有解决系统性经济不平等的象征性姿态予以驳回,同时指出,这笔捐款还不到埃克森公司预计从圭亚那石油中获得的1 100亿美元利润的1%。 Guyanese officials and experts dismiss Exxon’s $100 million STEM pledge as a symbolic gesture that fails to address systemic economic inequities, noting the donation represents less than 1% of Exxon’s projected $110 billion profits from Guyana’s oil. 批评者强调,政府预付埃克森公司所有税款 — — 2024年12.4亿美元 — — 然后发放公司用来要求外国税收抵免的收据,有效地将财政负担转移给公众。 Critics highlight that the government pays all of Exxon’s taxes upfront—$1.24 billion in 2024—then issues receipts the company uses to claim foreign tax credits, effectively shifting the financial burden to the public. 他们认为礼物是一种公共关系策略,转移了对重新谈判石油合同、实施封锁以提升圭亚那收入份额、确保公平工资、当地雇用和环境合规的必要性的注意力。 They argue the gift is a public relations tactic that distracts from the need to renegotiate the oil contract, implement ringfencing to boost Guyana’s revenue share, and ensure fair wages, local hiring, and environmental compliance.
