Stakeholder Engagement
Overview
We believe that creating shared value through our people, communities we call home, unitholders, business partners, customers and government helps to ensure the social and economic needs of future generations are met.
Our Approach
We are focused on understanding our stakeholders’ goals, perspectives, and concerns, and incorporating stakeholder feedback into our business strategies. We will continue to evolve and expand our approach to stakeholder engagement to meet the changing needs of our company and our stakeholders.
Community Engagement and Impact
We are dedicated to building and maintaining relationships in the communities where we operate. We are proud to support local and national charitable organizations and encourage employees to make a positive impact through giving and volunteerism.
Engagement Programs
- Building Relationships and Earning Trust
Through our many stakeholder engagement programs, MPLX is building and maintaining strong relationships within the community. A great example of this is Marathon Pipe Line LLC’s (MPL) Earning Your Trust program. Through its industry-leading public engagement program, our wholly owned subsidiary, MPL, engages landowners, community members, schools and public officials on pipeline safety and infrastructure. The program helps MPL focus on community involvement while encouraging employees and contractors to be positive ambassadors when working with or contacting the public.

Engaging with Indigenous Communities
MPLX is committed to building strong relationships with Indigenous communities near our facilities and respecting the diversity of culture and unique history, traditions and beliefs of each tribe. We strive to listen to and address the specific priorities, goals and concerns of the Indigenous communities near our projects and operations through engagement and collaboration. Indigenous perspectives on safety and the preservation of cultural and environmental resources inform our planning and execution of projects and operational activities. To strengthen this commitment, we continue to provide cultural awareness education programs to key stakeholders across our company to improve understanding of Indigenous history, traditions, rights, cultures and governance.
