Community Relationships and Development

Lasting community relationships help Marathon manage risks, reduce impacts and attract and retain high-performing employees. Ultimately, strong relationships with communities, NGOs and private industry enable sustainable and profitable local operations.

In consultation with these critical stakeholders, we are addressing strategic local and regional issues, risks and impacts. Our CSR policy and framework guide us on operating as a responsible business, employer and neighbor. Marathon's social political risk assessment (SPRA) and stakeholder engagement processes and interactive tools support our operating units' efforts to build mutually beneficial community relationships.

Focusing Resources for Mutual Benefit

Today, common community concerns include public infrastructure, service and social needs, local employment opportunities, energy prices and potential environmental impacts from oil and gas operations. Marathon's challenge is to focus our resources where we can have the greatest positive impact on issues that affect the long-term value of our assets and the communities where they are located. We partner with knowledgeable, experienced NGOs and other third parties whenever possible to achieve the best results.

We attempt to ensure local capabilities are in place to sustain social programs beyond our initial investment and involvement. We strive to avoid negative community impacts and involuntary resettlement of individuals and communities in siting, developing and operating our assets.

Community engagement is based in part on the International Financial Corporation's (IFC) guidelines Doing Better Business Through Effective Consultation and Disclosure, and Social Performance Standard #5: Land Acquisition and Involuntary Resettlement. These are particularly applicable in developing countries.

Our Bioko Island Malaria Control Project in EG and Methamphetamine Education and Awareness program in the U.S are multi-year commitments identified through stakeholder engagement. They address significant social challenges that affect community health, wellness and economic progress, as well as Marathon's ability to operate successfully.

In 2010, we will introduce community development guidelines for operating units to promote responsible interactions and development of sustainable programs. We also will begin training internal CSR champions on the guidelines.
