Health, Environment, Safety and security

Marathon recognizes that the ability to do business in any community is a privilege. High standards of health, environmental, safety (HES) and security performance underpin a culture of continual improvement that includes:

• A comprehensive HES policy and associated performance principles, overseen by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of Marathon’s Board of Directors.
• A broad Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy that affirms a continuing commitment to our core values and which promotes sustainable social, environmental and economic benefits wherever Marathon operates.
• Overall guidance is provided by a Corporate Responsibility (HES) Management Committee. This is a senior level committee comprised of Marathon officers, who are responsible for reviewing the overall performance of various environmental compliance programs and other HES- and CSR-related initiatives, as well as establishing annual goals and direction.
• Use of integrated HES Management Systems: the Global Performance System for Upstream operations and the Responsible Care Management System® for Downstream operations. This management system framework drives continual HES improvement throughout the Company.
• Metrics integral to our corporate and operational safety and environmental performance commitments.
