Making a Difference

Houston is much more than the place where we work — it’s our home. For more than 50 years, and our presence in the U.S. goes back nearly twice as long. Since our earliest days we have strived to be a good neighbor, celebrating our communities by supporting the people, organizations and initiatives that make our cities thrive.

The reason? Because we believe people are the most important source of energy for societal progress.

Through partnerships and philanthropy, from grassroots initiatives to national programs, we invest in the future of people and ideas, creating lasting economic and societal impact across the Americas from Houston to Santiago, Chile.

Empowering changemakers

Solving energy challenges requires not only technical expertise but also creativity and determination. That’s why we partner with organizations to expand access to STEM education programs — particularly for underserved students — inspiring the next generation of scientists, engineers, innovators and leaders.

Energizing communities

Being a good neighbor means fostering opportunities for connection and growth. We collaborate with a broad range of partners working to advance human potential, whether that’s through health equity initiatives, literary skills programs, or food security solutions.

Our employees are an integral part of our citizenship through our robust volunteer program, donating time, raising funds and building awareness for causes that matter.

Embracing biodiversity

Biodiversity efforts succeed when rooted in science and guided by communities. We work with nonprofits, governments, local groups and industry peers to support projects that help restore local ecosystems and protect species. From coastal bays to urban green spaces, coral reefs to tree planting, we are dedicated to making practical contributions with lasting impact.
