Community
HESS is committed to taking an active part in improving the quality of life in our community through the sharing of social, intellectual and economic resources.
We believe giving back to the community benefits both HESS and the organizations we support. Our volunteer activities boost morale, strengthen our team and improve communications and relations among our associates, customers and stake holders.
