Social Responsibility

Commerce. Conscience. Compassion.

Once considered mutually exclusive, these three ideas have converged in a powerful global concept -- Corporate Social Responsibility. Marathon, as a responsible corporate citizen, seeks opportunities to strengthen the communities and countries in which we are privileged to operate.

In practice, Corporate Social Responsibility involves examining all the ways that a company's actions and operations have the potential to impact others. It means looking beyond our office walls and outside the refinery fence to consider how our decisions affect a broad range of individuals, groups and organizations. Referred to as stakeholders, they include local communities, non-governmental organizations, investors, employees, customers, suppliers, host governments and regulatory agencies.

Marathon's commitment to social responsibility is rooted in Living Our Values, a touchstone philosophy for our entire company. Our core values form the foundation for a comprehensive approach that shapes the way we do business.
