Esso is one of the world's most recognized brands in the petroleum industry, with a history that dates back to the dissolution of the Standard Oil Trust in 1911. The name 'Esso' is derived from the phonetic pronunciation of the initials 'S.O.' for Standard Oil. Originally the primary brand for Standard Oil of New Jersey, it became a global symbol for high-quality fuels and lubricants.

Following the 1999 merger of Exxon and Mobil, Esso became a primary retail brand for the newly formed ExxonMobil Corporation outside of the United States (where the Exxon and Mobil brands are more prevalent). Today, Esso operates a vast network of service stations and supply chains across Europe, Canada, and the Asia-Pacific region.

Manufacturing and refining of Esso products occur in multiple countries, utilizing ExxonMobil's global network of refineries and integrated chemical plants. The brand remains under the ultimate ownership of ExxonMobil, a multinational oil and gas corporation headquartered in Irving, Texas. While ExxonMobil owns the brand, local operations are often managed through regional subsidiaries like Esso Petroleum Company, Limited in the UK or Imperial Oil in Canada.
