Our global team is brought together by a sense of ownership and the knowledge that best answers win. Our core values are:

• We derive benefit from the Earth and take our environmental responsibility seriously; and
• Conduct our business with honesty and integrity.

History

Apache has made material discoveries throughout our history that have contributed significantly to our growth. One core strategy at Apache is to be both a competent explorer and acquirer; we believe any company must excel at both to prosper through the long-term cycles of our industry.

Apache believes that good corporate governance is central to our operations, our stakeholders and our reputation. The principles and practices captured in our corporate documents and policies, as well as the culture of integrity that cannot be fully captured in them, are central to our ongoing ability to provide energy, high-quality jobs, shareholder returns and tax revenues that fund public policy.

Apache’s corporate governance is designed to enhance our ability to pursue the long-term objectives that are critical to the energy exploration and production sector. It is also designed to ensure ongoing accountability and transparency.

Apache’s board of directors plays a vital role in the design, implementation and monitoring of our corporate governance. We maintain extensive education and training programs to make sure our governance culture is shared throughout our regions around the globe. We continually reach out to our many constituencies to ensure that our governance profile is dynamic and robust enough to keep pace with the ever-changing world in which we operate.
