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. Stakeholder engagement helps us understand community concerns and mitigate potential risks such as project delays, reputation damage and operation disruptions.

Our goal is to engage stakeholders regularly to foster cooperation and alignment on critical business issues and concerns.

Marathon uses participatory consultation to enable local communities to get organized and assess and address their own needs. We offer training, materials and support so they ultimately can manage social projects on their own. This approach empowered communities in Sulawesi, Indonesia, to identify specific needs and develop sustainable health, education and income-generating projects to address those needs.

The Bioko Island Malaria Control Project (BIMCP) in EG continues to be Marathon's primary strategic social responsibility project. Since program inception in 2003, the malaria caseload on Bioko Island has decreased 74 percent and the mortality rate for children under 5 years old has declined 64 percent. We continue to help build capacity for EG to assume responsibility for malaria control programs in the future.
