Environmental Stewardship

Environmental stewardship is the ability of a company or entity to establish and maintain high standards of health, environmental and safety performance as part of its business process. Marathon supports various nature conservation programs that are important to host communities and their sustainability. Some examples of these programs include: 

• A National Park Program project was established to protect large expanses of the Gabonese rainforest.
• Marathon instituted a pipeline right-of-way revegetation program in the United States and Gabon.
• The Company established a biodiversity initiative to protect primates and sea turtles on Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea. It is a joint program led by Arcadia College in support of capacity building at the National University of Equatorial Guinea to self-administer the biodiversity program.
• Downstream employee teams have transformed more than 1,400 acres of Marathon wooded areas, grassland, cropland, lakes and wetlands into habitat certified by the Wildlife Habitat Council (WHC).
