Socio-Economic

Marathon will continue to be a positive influence in communities. We will foster constructive working relationships, build alliances, address sustainable development issues and contribute to the viability of communities where we operate.

Capacity Building

Capacity building is the establishment of sustainable mechanisms that allow a community or nation to empower itself by developing its human capital. Developing local citizens better prepares a community or nation to face and resolve development issues in a responsible and sustainable manner.

Community Impacts and Engagements

Marathon invests in long-term, sustainable programs to improve quality of life in communities where we live and operate.

We start by initiating proactive dialogue and building effective relationships with individuals and groups that may have a stake in Marathon projects or operations. We believe this stakeholder engagement must be a core business activity.

Human Rights

Marathon respects the human, cultural and legal rights of individuals and communities. Within our relationships with stakeholders and legitimate business role, we promote fundamental human and worker rights in accordance with the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).

Our commitment to the UDHR is underscored through our participation in the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights. This international initiative guides extractive companies in maintaining the safety and security of their operations globally within a framework that ensures respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms.

Social Investment

Marathon promotes responsible community interactions and provides community development guidelines and related tools to help operating units build sustainable social programs.

Philanthropy is integral to our business and an investment in communities where we live and work. We focus our resources where we can have the greatest impact on issues that affect the long-term value of our assets and communities.
