Creating a Better Way for Communities to Prosper
At Anadarko Petroleum’s headquarters in Houston, we’re addressing the city’s most pressing social needs through our involvement with United Way of Texas Gulf Coast. Anadarko employees contribute generously, and the company matches employee donations dollar for dollar. In 2003, Anadarko gave $1.2 million to Houston United Way agencies. Similar efforts took place in Calgary, Rock Springs (Wyoming), Anchorage, and other communities throughout North America.
