Marathon supports various climate change and conservation programs. Some examples of environmental stewardship programs:

Marathon participates in the American Petroleum Institute (API) Climate Challenge, a program that strives to improve refinery energy efficiency by 10 percent between 2002 and 2012. Marathon estimates its refineries increased energy efficiency by 4.5 percent between 2002 and 2006.
Marathon is a partner in the Global Gas Flaring and Venting Reduction Initiative, which aims to eliminate venting and reduce flaring of associated gas. An example of Marathon's progress and commitment to this standard. is a more than 90 percent reduction in flare volumes in the company's Equatorial Guinea project.
