Management Systems

Marathon employs a “plan-do-check-review” management system framework to drive continual health, environment, safety (HES) and security improvement throughout all of its business operations.

Upstream uses the integrated Global Performance System, while Downstream utilizes the Responsible Care Management System^® as a member of the American Chemistry Council. Both management systems meet recognized international standards, provide similar frameworks, formalize a best practices approach and facilitate continual improvement. Risk assessment and risk management are fundamental to these systems and are integrated into business and operating planning cycles and decision making processes. Objectives of the management systems are to:

• Establish clear and consistent HES, security and social expectations across our company;
• Incorporate risk management into routine planning cycles to proactively identify and address potential impacts to people, the environment and company assets;
• Provide the framework for managing HES, security and social issues; and
• Support continual improvement in HES, security, social and overall business performance.
