On January 9th, we spoke with Paula Luff, Vice President of CSR, Hess Corporation about CSR from a practitioner's perspective.

Since joining Hess Corporation seven years ago as its first Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility, Paula Luff has seen the global company transform itself from an integrated oil-and-gas company to a pure exploration and production company. In 2013, Hess began to shed its downstream businesses, including its retail, energy marketing and energy trading units, in order to focus on higher growth, lower risk assets.
