SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Our company is committed to helping meet the
world’s increasing demand for energy in a manner that
safeguards our employees, preserves the environment
and makes a positive impact on the communities
where we operate. We strive each day to be a
trusted energy partner to communities, employees,
business partners, customers and investors
through sustainable business practices, which we
believe are essential to our license to operate.
Employee safety performance improved for the
seventh consecutive year in 2011. Contractor
safety performance deteriorated, driven primarily by
significantly increased activity in our North Dakota
operations. We took aggressive steps to address
this challenge, resulting in marked improvements
in safety performance by year end. We expect these
improvements to continue and we are focused on
regaining our trend of continuous improvement in safety.
With our rapid growth in unconventional energy
resources, we took measures to assure the public about
our approach to hydraulic fracturing. We registered
as a voluntary user of the web-based FracFocus
database, www.FracFocus.org, where we publicly
disclose the chemical composition of drilling fluids.
While we are focused on preventing safety, health and
environmental incidents, we recognize the importance
of maintaining a high level of emergency response
preparedness. As part of an effort to learn from the
Macondo incident in the Gulf of Mexico, Hess carried
out a comprehensive review of our emergency response
preparations. We joined the Marine Well Containment
