After more than a century in business, Chevron Corporation of the United States is the leading
private energy firm in Bangladesh. The Chevron distribution model ranks Chevron Bangladesh's
distribution network to be among the best. However, the goal of this study is to illustrate the large
distribution of Chevron Bangladesh's CSR initiatives throughout the community.
CSR investments can be utilized in innovative and sustainable ways for national advancement.
Under its Bangladesh Partnership Initiative (BPI), Chevron has adopted this innovative approach
by funding a three-year skills development project named Uttoron - skills for a better life. The
efforts of Uttoron address the concerns of skills enhancement and stimulate enlisting by removing
any barrier between businesses and employees. The project is exceptional due to its distinctive
multi-layered learner selection method, purpose-fitting trade selection, and industry association in
addition to its extensive partner commitment. Chevron, like Uttoron, engages in numerous CSR
programs for the improvement of the host country, such as SHIKHON and Jibika. In tandem, they
have made significant contributions to the nation's healthcare industry.
This study is the result of my investigation of Chevron's CSR initiatives in Bangladesh. These
efforts have been crucial in bringing about the current level of prosperity in our country. In the
project's last section, I presented a more comprehensive evaluation of these initiatives, which
facilitated widespread progress across many fronts and gave crucial aid to those who lacked access
to fundamental basic rights.
