EDUCATION

Love My School Bursary Program

From 2020 through 2023, Hess has been championing the MyKasih ‘Love My School’ initiative, a bursary program dedicated to the primary students of Kelantan. This philanthropic effort found Hess adopting an Orang Asli (indigenous community) school, Sekolah Kebangsaan Pasir Linggi, reaching out to assist an average of 100 economically disadvantaged pupils each year.

Back-to-School Program

Earlier in 2023, Hess organized a heartwarming Back-toSchool program at SK To’ Bali, a primary school located in the picturesque town of Tok Bali, Kelantan. The initiative focused on the students’ needs to ensure they have a smooth start to the academic year and can focus on their education without worrying about financial constraints.

Knowledge Exchange Programs:

Hess x UTP: Knowledge Exchange on Operations Geology and Petrophysics

Hess hosted an engaging knowledge-sharing event with the students of Universiti Teknologi Petronas to present the company’s work in the North Malay Basin. The session offered insights into the role and collaboration of Operations Geologists with other experts, the function of the mudlogging unit, and the pivotal tasks of a wellsite geologist.

Hess x Akademi Sains Pendang:

Introduction to the Oil & Gas Industry

Hess organized an introductory session to the oil and gas industry for students aged 12 to 15 at Akademi Sains Pendang, Kedah. The session revealed the various uses of petroleum and gas, the formation and location of hydrocarbons, and the industry’s structure: upstream, midstream, and downstream. The presentation also explored career paths within the industry and showcased Hess’s assets, aiming to inspire young attendees about the sector’s opportunities.

COMMUNITY AID, SAFETY & ENVIRONMENT

Coastal Beach Clean-up

At Hess, we understand the transformative power of collective action on both the environment and the communities we serve. This year, Hess launched its Beach Clean-up at the scenic Bisikan Bayu Beach in Tok Bali, Kelantan. Approximately 200 community members came together, each driven by a shared commitment to preserving the beach’s beautiful sandy stretch.

Love My Neighborhood Initiative

The ‘Love My Neighborhood’ initiative is a cashless food aid program tailored for 100 selected underserved families near Tok Bali. They also showed their strong community spirit by actively participating in the beach cleanup. The program enabled users to use their ID cards for cashless transactions at selected partner stores.

Sahabat Maritim Community Service Program

Hess, along with its strategic partners, which all have major operations in Kelantan, sponsored the Sahabat Maritim community service program this year. This program, spearheaded by the Malaysia Maritime Enforcement Agency was designed to raise public awareness about the safety of the maritime community. The initiative consists of four events in four locations in Kelantan.

DISASTER RELIEF

In the regions along Malaysia’s East Coast where our facilities are situated, the monsoon season brings predictable flooding each year. Recognizing this, Hess has pledged its support for those affected by the seasonal floods. This past year, in 2023, our team of volunteers was instrumental in providing nourishment, necessities, and educational materials not only to our personnel and their families but also to over 800 individuals in the communities of Pasir Puteh, Kuala Krai, Tok Bali, and Rantau Panjang, helping them to rebuild in the aftermath of the floods.
