Human Rights

Respecting human, cultural and legal rights of individuals and communities

We have the potential to impact human rights and human security through core operations, labor conditions, local community investment programs or involvement with others, such as suppliers and security forces.

Marathon conducts business within the broad social-political context of countries and communities where we operate, while respecting human, cultural and legal rights of individuals and communities. We promote the United Nations (U.N.) Universal Declaration of Human Rights through active and committed participation in the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights.

Responsible operations and business practices help us manage risks, foster a positive business climate and improve stakeholder relations and access to global resources. Our goal is to respect the human rights of all stakeholders and raise awareness of related issues across the business enterprise. Our challenge is ensuring that employees, business partners, security forces and others are aware of these expectations.

We must ensure that relevant stakeholders receive human rights training in accordance with the Voluntary Principles.

  • Training is mandatory for Marathon employees, managers, security personnel and key contractor supervisory personnel in appropriate locations.
  • An abbreviated version of the training in local languages is available to security personnel in some locations.
  • A computer-based training (CBT) module on the Voluntary Principles is offered to supplement mandatory training and for employees working in designated areas.

We are rolling out internally developed guidelines to assist assets in managing community relationships. Human rights risk assessments are performed as part of due diligence for all proposed new country entries. These processes, in turn, guide respectful interactions with indigenous communities.
