Community Investment

Giving

CNOOC International’s Community Investment program helps strengthen the communities where we live and work. Through meaningful corporate gifts including donations and sponsorships, we prioritize funding for projects that provide long-term and sustainable results that have a positive impact on our communities.

Our funding priorities are:

Supporting Thriving & Safe Communities

We focus on helping individuals and families in need to access resources and opportunities to help them reach their full potential. In addition, we support initiatives that contribute to advancing safety and emergency response in the communities where we operate.

Advancing Education

Through scholarships and bursaries, we are helping to advance the educational attainment of young people in our communities.  In particular, we focus on funding programs that are related to Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM), to help build capacity and to positively impact our business and industry. 

Capacity Building for Indigenous Communities
