Community Development

Marathon is committed to investing in long-term, sustainable programs to improve quality of life in the communities in which we live and operate. Examples of community projects include:

The Bioko Island Malaria Control Project (BIMCP) in Equatorial Guinea is a $15.8 million (investment as of 2008) private/public partnership program where the goal is to eradicate malaria from Bioko Island over a 5-year period.
Marathon's Methamphetamine Awareness & Education Program is an initiative to educate communities on the effects of methamphetamine use.
In Indonesia Marathon engaged with local communities on the island of Sulawesi to develop small-scale, collaborative projects focused on the well-being and improvement of the community.
The P.A. Denny River Education Center for science, environment and stewardship of the Ohio River system is a floating river education center under the direction of the ORSANCO Educational Foundation in Cincinnati, Ohio. In a week-long effort sponsored by Marathon and involving its employee volunteers, over 500 students were provided this unique opportunity to learn about the river system. It is estimated that more than 2,000 adults also took part.
Partnering with University of Illinois, the Illinois Refining Division Community Health and Safety Fair engaged over 950 students featuring ten interactive stations with a variety of themes focused primarily on student health and their safety. Health centered stations included topics such as "Jump Your Way to Fitness" and Glo Germ^TM Hand Washing Station. One safety station focused on bicycle safety, importance of wearing helmets and understanding hand signals for a safe ride.
