Hess Corporation

From Hess Corporation's statement of support to the EITI:

Our Code and SR policy state our commitment to uphold human rights and to conduct our business with integrity. During 2008 we continued to actively participate in key voluntary initiatives while developing and implementing increasingly robust programs.

In 2008 we continued to work with the U.S. State Department, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the Equatorial Guinea (E.G.) Government to help E.G. achieve the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative's (EITI) Candidate Country status and move to the validation phase. We were included in the EITI Secretariat's list of "Friends of the EITI in E.G." and also continued to provide data to the Azerbaijan and Gabon EITI programs.
