At the heart of Chevron's strategy is its vision to be the energy company most admired for its people, partnership and performance. Here, three employees tell what it's like to deliver and develop energy the Chevron way.

On the Commitment to Performance

Exceeding Expectations

"Blind Faith in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico is the company's deepest offshore production facility. There were many challenges during construction, commissioning and startup, including three hurricane evacuations right before production was set to begin. We overcame them all, and startup was successful, safe and environmentally sound. The team delivered production facilities that are flexible enough to handle higher oil and natural gas production rates than we originally envisioned."

On the Respect for People

Asking for the Moon

"While I was still in college, I interned for Chevron on a project building a drilling rig. I loved my job. When I went back to school, Chevron asked what I would like to do full time after I graduated. I asked for a job offshore. I thought I was asking for the moon. When I got an offer to work in the Gulf of Mexico, it was everything I had asked for. I couldn't turn it down."

On the Importance of Partnership

Stopping a Killer Disease

"We operate in parts of the world where HIV/AIDS is an epidemic. Each square on this quilt was done in memory of a Chevron employee, family member or friend who died from the disease. We are passionate about stopping HIV/AIDS, and we're building partnerships to help eradicate it. Working together, we're beginning to see progress. In Angola, for example, we've established programs for employees and their spouses. And we've not seen a single case of a mother-to-child transmission of HIV/AIDS in more than two years."
