History of Social Responsibility

Social Responsibility is a core value at Hess Corporation. The company is committed to meeting the highest standards of corporate citizenship by protecting the health and safety of employees, safeguarding the environment and creating a long-lasting, positive impact in the communities where we do business.


History of Technology

From the early days when the company’s founder, Leon Hess, installed heaters in oil delivery trucks, the stage was set for technological innovation. Each landmark in the company’s growth – the building of pipelines, terminal delivery systems, exploration of oil fields, deepwater drilling, horizontal drilling, staged fracturing and asset optimization – can be traced to the wise use and adaptive use of technology.
