Unlocking Value through Collaboration,
Relationship Development, and Stakeholder Management
Kevin McCotter
Chesapeake Energy Corporation
ABSTRACT
Chesapeake is an industry leader in promoting initiatives to help the U.S. decrease its reliance on foreign sources of energy, lower its energy costs, reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, create American jobs, and increase tax revenue—all of which can be accomplished through the greater use of natural gas.
Chesapeake’s Corporate Development organization provides proactive support and leadership to regulatory, legislative, and community relations initiatives designed to build long-term value for our company and the communities in which we operate. Our continued success is based not only on our financial results but also on our conduct beyond the bottom line. Developing and protecting our values and reputation as an engaged and responsible corporate partner is a priority and distinguishes Chesapeake as a company committed to health, safety, and the environment. We engage stakeholders in timely and meaningful dialogue to address legitimate issues and concerns within our areas of operations.
