Our Communities

EOG’s Commitment to Our Communities

EOG strives in its operations to protect human rights, minimize impact to native lands and culture and demonstrate respect for the cultural, social and religious beliefs and traditions of others. We recognize and work to comply with all local, tribal, state and federal laws that apply to our operations.

EOG employees have annually raised money for a wide range of events, including the March of Dimes Walk America, Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, Alzheimer’s Memory Walk and MS150 Houston to Austin bike tour, as well as area United Way campaigns.

Employee donations are also matched by EOG as part of our matching gifts program, which encourages our personnel to support charitable organizations. To encourage employees to be generous, EOG matches their donations, dollar for dollar, up to $60,000 per employee, per calendar year. In 2005, this program was enhanced to provide a three–to–one dollar match on employee contributions to hurricane relief efforts.

At EOG, our spirit of giving is matched only by our tradition of participating. Employees in every EOG location have been generous in donating their time to serve a wide range of charitable organizations. Engrained in our culture, volunteerism is also encouraged and our employees enjoy the opportunity to work together on different community projects. We don’t help others because we feel obligated to do so; we help others because we want to make a difference in their quality of life.

EOG employees across our operations can be found taking community leadership roles. They talk with school children about the oil and gas industry, donate used computers to local classrooms, support rodeos in small towns and serve on school boards and in numerous other volunteer roles. Our employees also seek ways to lend a helping hand to people in various stages of their lives from pre–school children to the elderly.
