Investing in People, Partnerships & Performance
Chevron has always supported and funded structured programmes that seek to strengthen the company’s role as a responsible corporate citizen. Chevron’s philosophy is about investing in people, investing in partnerships and investing in performance.
At Chevron, we define corporate responsibility as:
- Consistently applying our core values, set out in The Chevron Way
- Maximizing the positive impact of our operations on current and future generations
- Integrating social, environmental and economic considerations into our core practices and decision making
- Engaging with - and balancing the needs of all our stakeholders
We recognize that our long-term success depends on our ability to gain access to new resources, the strength of relationships with key stakeholders, managing operations responsibly and efficiently in increasingly complex environments, as well as contributing to economic development. Corporate responsibility is a key to helping us achieve these objectives.
Chevron’s experience in working around the world has led the company to redefine its approach to community engagement and investment. Increasingly, the company is focusing its efforts on helping create sustained economic growth by building human and institutional capacity. In practice, this means targeting resources in capacity building areas critical to economic development:
The aim of Chevron’s CSI programme in Southern Africa is to promote the maintenance and development of a socio-economic environment conducive to real and sustained economic growth. Our aim is to contribute towards poverty alleviation, to support initiatives that offer people an opportunity to educate themselves.
Chevron’s social investment spending is focused in the following areas:
- Education & training
- HIV/AIDS awareness
- Community development
- Arts and culture
