Engagement
Regular engagement with community members enables us to keep residents informed about our activities and helps us find opportunities to add value to communities as well as understand and respond to local concerns.
Addressing Concerns
Being accessible and responsive is central to being a good neighbor. We have a 24-hour community concern hotline and use a companywide routing and tracking system to ensure we respond promptly and effectively.
Economic Impacts
SWN’s operations have generated billions of dollars in direct and indirect economic benefits for the communities where we operate. We hire locally and support education in petroleum technology and the STEM fields (science, technology, engineering and math) to develop the local workforce.
Giving and Volunteering
We have a passion for philanthropy that supports our communities. Through our Social Energy strategy, we take an integrated approach to meeting local needs across six focus areas: education, well-being, emergency response, clean environment, family focus and support of military service members.
