As part .of our social investment strategy, we
promote responsible community interactions
and provide direction to operating units on
building sustainable programs. We frequently
collaborate with business partners, nonprofits
and others on social investment
programs.
Marathon Oil has worked closely wi th community stakeholders
in Equatorial Guinea to maximize the benefit of our
presence in this region. For example, we designed training
and development initiatives to benefit employees and host
communities, creating a workforce with better leadership
skills and helping local enterprises learn to grow their business
more effectively.
In 2011, 22 local business representatives participated in an
intensive two-month computer skills course. Businesses
represented a diverse array of sectors including banking,
agriculture and construction. We also provided training in
financial management. accounting, budgeting and planning
for 24 representatives of local small-to-medium sized
businesses. Lastly, the National Content team hosted a
tw o-month Marketing and Customer Service Training
session to promote entrepreneurial skills for local busi ­
nesses. Twenty-five participants from local companies
attended and learned about market resea rch, market
segmentation, sales strategies and the importance of
good customer service.
Migue.l Mbela Medja, a participant from Construcciones
SIBER SL. said, "My company is very satisfied that I
attended this computer course. The knowledge I acquired
through the class can be transferred to other employees."
He continued. "We thank EG LNG for organizing these
training courses in order to help develop the skills of small
Guinean companies."
