Marathon assets, such as those in the Bakken and Eagle Ford plays, are indicative of our steady growth and the exciting opportunities that are yet to come.
At Marathon, we realize the importance of being transparent and regularly sharing company and industry information with our customers, employees and stakeholders.

With a focus on safety, innovation and environmental stewardship, Marathon is among the world’s leading independent exploration and production companies.
Our spirit of innovation and commitment to delivering superior products that address even the most complex challenges drives Marathon’s legacy of technical excellence.
Public Advocacy and Lobbying
Maintaining our voice in public debates and policy decisions
Marathon promotes public policies that encourage responsible energy development and allow us to build a sustainable business. Our goal is to maintain a Company voice in public debates and to participate in public policy decision-making focused on issues relevant to our industry.
Our challenge is to meet or exceed legal and regulatory requirements while maintaining the ability to operate cost-effectively, add value for shareholders and offer competitive employment opportunities. The Company also wants to preserve our ability to have a positive impact on communities where we operate and to protect the environment.
Marathon engages governments and parties as appropriate on human rights, environmental stewardship and other CSR-related issues. Prior to starting exploration work in Poland, we hosted Polish government officials on a tour of our North Dakota Bakken Shale operations. In addition, we are participating in a Polish industry association establishing energy development protocols.
We also have a goal to maintain awareness on key business issues to allow stakeholders to make informed decisions. Our external issues education website highlighted oil sands development, hydraulic fracturing, resource access and taxation in 2010. We continue to tailor the site's content based on relevant public policy issues.
