Esso is a world-renowned brand in the energy and petrochemical sector, primarily known for its high-quality gasoline and diesel fuels. The name 'Esso' is derived from the phonetic pronunciation of the initials of Standard Oil (S.O.), the massive energy conglomerate founded in the United States in the late 19th century. Today, the brand represents a significant wing of the global fuel retail market.

While the brand originated in the United States, Esso's fuel products are refined and produced globally. The company operates a vast network of refineries and supply chains, meaning the petrol sold at an Esso station is typically manufactured in or near the country of sale using locally or regionally sourced crude oil. This localized manufacturing ensures a steady supply of energy across continents.

Following the 1999 merger of Exxon and Mobil, Esso became a primary international brand for ExxonMobil. As one of the world's largest publicly traded energy companies, ExxonMobil oversees the brand's global standards, research, and development. The brand continues to be a staple in the European, Asian, and Canadian markets, often operating through local subsidiaries or licensed distributors.
