Chevron's philosophy focuses on investing in people, partnerships and performance.
Chevron's social investment program in South Africa promotes real and sustained economic growth. Our social investment spending in South Africa is focused in these areas:
- Education and training
- HIV/AIDS awareness
- Community development
- Arts and culture
- Environmental management, including education and conservation
We support formal education, including preschool and basic adult education. Chevron encourages community development by promoting arts, culture, good health and community services. Education about the environment and conservation are supported. Chevron also provides disaster relief and general assistance to the needy.
As a way of developing the country's workforce, Chevron supports Black Economic Empowerment, a government initiative that helps women and historically disadvantaged people to learn skills and get jobs.
