Hunt strongly believes in taking care of the communities that surround its operations, therefore the company takes part in campaigns and initiatives that give back to those communities.

Hunt has partnered with Communities Foundation of Texas (CFT) to develop and implement a corporate volunteer program. The Be In Good Company program recognizes companies who make a difference in our community and exhibit a program or initiative in each of these three pillars of excellence: A Thriving Culture, A Thriving Team, and A Thriving Future.

At Hunt, we will hold three separate events during the year that each focus on an individual pillar of excellence. We are joined in this initiative by CFT and representatives of our partnering nonprofit organizations.

Hunt Helpers is a campaign that was created in 2019 in partnership with Communities Foundation of Texas. Through this program, Dallas-based Hunt employees are allowed to spend a full day volunteering at organizations throughout the city that provide valuable resources and services to residents and the community at large. In addition to off-site volunteer opportunities, the program also includes on-campus service opportunities to ensure that all employees have the chance to participate in the day’s volunteerism.

Hunt Refining holds an annual United Way of West Alabama Campaign.  Employees volunteer to be part of the Volunteer Allocation Team to review local non-profits financials, operations, and facilities to assure donations are allocated and used properly.  Each year, Hunt Refining designates a day to work at a local non-profit to update, improve, and complete any needed project.   

In 2019, With the company match and several additional employee-led fundraisers, the campaign set a record with a total donation of  $642,704.86. Not only did that make HRC the No. 1 donor in West Alabama, but it also made HRC the No. 1 corporate donor as well! 

The success of the campaign proves Hunt Refining Company’s employee’s commitment to helping those less fortunate in their communities.

Community outreach is very important to Hunt. Across all our operations, Hunt is committed to positively impacting the communities in which we serve or conduct business

Hunt Volunteers is an employee led group with Hunt who get together monthly to raise funds and donate their time and talents to local Dallas based nonprofits needing assistance.

Their mission is to act as community volunteers, endeavor to create interest in volunteerism among fellow employees and create fellowship and goodwill through active civic and community involvement.

The group, though sanctioned by the company, makes its own decisions regarding which volunteers projects to undertake. 

Voluntary service is carried out by collaborators from different sites and departments of our company in Perú who offer their support to various social causes, which in turn encourages a culture of social commitment.

In 2020, the volunteers continued to support Asociación de las Bienaventuranzas. In January, they campaigned to obtain donations to help victims of a fire in the district of Villa El Salvador, province of Lima. Since March 2020, voluntary work focused on families living in extreme poverty, who had been directly economically affected by the restrictive measures decreed by central government in response to the COVID-19 emergency. In March, funds were collected from our collaborators and a significant donation was made to the “Share your Bread with the Hungry” campaign organized by the Asociación de las Bienaventuranzas. In June, they assisted the “Peru without Hunger” campaign organized by Caritas del Peru. The collected funds were donated to communal diners in the parishes of San Vicente de Cañete.

Hunt Refining participates in an Adopt-a-School program with Oakdale Elementary School. On the first day of school, employees are at the doors to greet students and welcome them back to school. Employees teach the basics of eye contact, speaking up, and shaking hands. They also participate in the Read Across America program with the elementary school where they read to students in different classes throughout the school. Each year, Hunt Refining holds a career fair for the elementary school to help students understand different job opportunities within their community. Our students would not be where they are without the help of their fantastic teachers, so Hunt Refining makes sure to provide teachers with snacks and supplies to show unwavering appreciation for their hard work.

Hunt provides opportunities for open and honest communication with local communities concerning all projects involving the organization’s corporate area of influence. As a responsible member of the community, Hunt develops long-term relationships with the people and communities the company serves.

Hunt Global Partnerships (HGP) is the social responsibility model for the Hunt family of companies. The foundation of HGP’s activities includes bringing together local communities, government entities and nongovernmental organizations to provide critical services needed for individuals and their families living in Hunt’s projects’ area of influence.

In 2014, Hunt Global Partnerships was awarded the World Petroleum Council’s Excellence Award in Social Responsibility by the 21^st World Petroleum Congress and was also a recipient of Peru’s National Society of Mining, Petroleum and Energy’s for Sustainable Development Award for promoting local development in 2010.
