A Culture of Inclusion

During Women’s History Month and throughout the year, we recognize some of the women at Marathon Petroleum who are making a difference in their field.

At Marathon Petroleum, we are committed to being a company where all our people can maximize their full potential and seek the career opportunities they desire, and we know this only happens when our employees, contractors and other stakeholders feel valued for their diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. We welcome new ideas, invest in our people, and work to foster a collaborative, inclusive team environment.

To support our commitment to creating a more diverse workforce and to hold ourselves accountable, we set company goals designed to drive our strategy to increase representation of women, Black, Indigenous and people of color in our workforce.  We were the first U.S. independent downstream energy company to link executive and employee compensation to Diversity Equity & Inclusion metrics. Learn more about our strategic approach.
