Collaborating with stakeholders

Earning the trust of our stakeholders by what we say and do is a part of the Devon culture and one of our corporate values. We’re committed to building relationships of mutual respect with our coworkers and their families, shareholders, neighbors, landowners, mineral-rights holders, policymakers, lawmakers, suppliers, vendors, services companies and schools. Together, we can find solutions and lay the foundation for ongoing cooperation.

我们认识到，用于石油和天然气开发中使用的工业过程和设备会导致交通，噪音和其他影响我们邻居的问题。我们致力于改善在开展业务并帮助减轻行业活动影响的社区中运营的兼容性。德文郡曾与行业联盟，州机构，企业主，个人土地所有者，当地住房开发商和其他人合作，以提高石油和天然气运营附近的安全和生活质量。

Supporting first responders

Our focus on safety extends to partnering with the emergency responders who protect our communities. A DeWitt County, Texas, official didn’t hesitate to ask Devon for help when a brush fire started burning out of control within miles of our Cuero office in early 2022. The official was familiar with our local operations and capabilities because we’d built a relationship with them. Devon immediately called a local partner, who arranged for 7,000 gallons of freshwater, including 2,500 gallons from our field office reservoir, to be transported directly to the fire operations command post. Firefighters and emergency responders were able to control the fire with Devon’s help.

通过分配大约三分之一的年度捐赠在现场领域，我们对安全的承诺得到了加强，以帮助急救人员购买设备，卡车，培训和用品以支持其关键工作。我们还提供假期零食，主持午餐和晚餐，以向我们感谢他们的工作。在新墨西哥州东南部，我们参加了家乡英雄计划，该计划每月都会认识到一名紧急响应者，并提供有关他们的礼物和报纸文章。

Celebrating our communities

为了庆祝我们社区的文化和独特品质，德文郡向我们经营的当地博览会和活动捐款。2021年，我们为Cuero Turkeyfest，Carlsbad的Pecos和俄克拉荷马城国家纪念馆和博物馆做出了贡献。As a sponsor of Frontier Days in Cheyenne, Wyoming, we invited landowners, mineral-royalty owners, elected officials and other stakeholders to join us for the annual western celebration.

我们几乎所有在北达科他州威利斯顿盆地的业务都位于伯德堡印度保留区，曼丹，希达萨和阿里卡拉国家（MHA Nation）的所在地。我们以一种直接的方式合作，以赢得和维持MHA国家的尊重，包括密切合作以遵守他们的实践，以减少Covid-19在整个大流行中的传播。我们还通过慈善捐赠教育，健康和安全努力来协助部落社区。

Responding to the urgent need for safer Permian Basin roadways

While only 2% of Texas’ population lives in the Permian Basin, 11% of traffic fatalities occur on the region’s roads that need $3 billion in repairs to improve safety and meet expected needs. As a sponsor of the Permian Road Safety Coalition (PRSC), Devon works with a cross-section of stakeholders invested in making roads safer and road infrastructure better across southeast New Mexico and west Texas.

Founded in 2015, PRSC brings together oil and gas industry companies and trade groups, agencies, researchers and concerned citizens to leverage expertise, share best practices and collaborate on data-driven research. PRSC also educates the broader community on the shared responsibility for road safety, including providing resources on its website to help everyone drive safely.

The coalition hosts road safety forums and training, and makes donations such as equipment and supplies for the Delaware Basin Emergency Preparedness Initiative (DBEPI) and matching funds to build a critical overpass project in Kermit, Texas. In 2021, PRSC donated $1.6 million for life-saving equipment to first responders across the region.

Devon also supports road safety through our membership in the Permian Strategic Partnership, which identified road safety as an area of urgent regional need through an analysis completed in 2018.
