Social responsibility
Social responsibility for GULF means working to elevate the quality of life for everyone we come into contact with. We strive to make a positive impact on people both within and outside the organization and are committed to developing and protecting the well-being of all our people – our GULF Family, GULF Community, and GULF Society. Under our Sustainability Framework, we use the acronym HELPS to represent the special emphasis we place on the following areas:
H
