Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX) today announced that it is making
a $1 million contribution to the American Red Cross for the
immediate relief efforts under way to assist victims of Hurricane
Harvey that struck Texas over the weekend.
“Our thoughts are with all the people who have suffered
tremendous losses and disruption from this catastrophic hurricane
and related flooding,” said Jeff Shellebarger, president, Chevron
North America Exploration and Production Company. “As a business
with deep ties to Texas and Houston, this donation will assist with
the initial critical relief process. We will continue to work with
responding organizations to support ongoing recovery efforts, which
we hope can begin soon.”
The donation will support relief efforts throughout the affected
regions, including both Corpus Christi and the greater Houston
metropolitan area. In addition, the company will match donations
made to the relief efforts by its employees and retirees, many of
whom have seen the tragedy unfold first-hand. One of Chevron’s top
priorities is protecting its employees, families and communities
when they may need assistance in times of emergency.
The American Red Cross is a key partner in delivering that
assistance. “The Red Cross is working around the clock in extremely
challenging conditions in Texas to help people impacted by
Hurricane Harvey,” said Gail McGovern, president and CEO of the
American Red Cross. “We couldn’t do it without the generosity of
our donors – like Chevron. With their support, the Red Cross can be
there when disaster strikes to respond with shelter, food and the
necessary supplies to ensure people are cared for, and to help
during the recovery process. We’re extremely grateful for their
support.”
Houston represents the single-largest concentration of Chevron
employees globally, and the company has important business
interests throughout Texas, including the Permian Basin and Corpus
Christi. A number of Chevron’s businesses are headquartered in
Houston, including our exploration and production companies for
North America, Africa and Latin America; our technology companies;
pipeline, power and global procurement businesses; and the supply
and trading function. In addition, many of Chevron’s major capital
projects are planned and developed from Houston.
