"We try to make the communities where we operate better places to live and work — whether it's by training local employees, contributing to a region's sustainable economic development, using local suppliers or investing in better education. Our long-term success is tied directly to the health of the communities where we do business."Ali Moshiri Managing Director

Upstream
The successful development of our energy portfolio requires tremendous resources — none more important than human energy. At Chevron, a spirit of ingenuity, collaboration and commitment drives our business every day and helps us create innovative solutions to the most demanding problems. Our human energy is embodied in many ways — from the enterprise approach that Chevron employees take to solve business challenges, to the partnerships we form with other businesses, local communities and governments. Because human energy is infinite, so is the potential to meet the world's demand for safe, reliable energy.
Developing Human Energy
Our goal is to be recognized as the employer of choice. We encourage a collaborative environment and have programs in place to attract, develop and retain top talent. Our long queue of capital projects has increased staffing and development opportunities dramatically. In response, we have developed programs to facilitate the transition of new employees into Chevron and acquaint them with our processes, procedures and values.
