Supporting our communities
Our team believes in contributing to communities by sharing time, talent, and resources. We are connecting globally and locally in new ways to drive scale and speed on solutions to humanity’s biggest challenges.
We give back in a variety of ways, including Baker Hughes Foundation grants, corporate in-kind contributions, and our culture of volunteerism. In 2025, the Baker Hughes Foundation donated over $2M to nonprofit organizations globally, with an additional $947,000 allocated for employee-matched contributions.
Our giving priorities include environment and climate, education and opportunity, and health, safety, and wellbeing.
Our commitment to community service and volunteerism
Our employees make a difference in their communities and demonstrate our values through volunteerism. This is an important part of our culture and in 2025, over 2,200 employees volunteered to support more than 900 charities globally, totaling 45,000 hours of volunteer service.
The Baker Hughes Foundation
The Baker Hughes Foundation has contributed over $16M to nonprofits around the world since 2020. Established in 1994, as a steward of charitable resources for meaningful community impact, the Baker Hughes Foundation seeks to advance environmental quality, education and opportunity, and health, safety, and wellbeing around the world by supporting organizations with shared values. The Foundation makes strategic philanthropic contributions, matches employee contributions, and awards volunteer recognition grants for outstanding employee community service.
In the last five years, the Foundation has put emphasis on supporting charities nominated by our employee resource groups (ERGs) and communities of interest (COIs), funneling charitable resources to areas where employees live and work. These groups have built strong partnerships with many nonprofits across the globe to drive social change for some of the world’s toughest challenges, including education, opportunity and equality.
The Baker Hughes Foundation also supports disaster relief agencies around the world. Since 2021, the Foundation has donated over $325,000 to help impacted communities recover and rebuild following natural disasters.
Baker Hughes Foundation grant supports new delivery van for Kids’ Meals
The Baker Hughes Foundation recently celebrated the arrival of a new delivery van to Kids’ Meals, the nation’s only healthy, free home meal delivery program for food-insecure pre-school-aged children, by filling it with over 1,000 meals and juice boxes, packed by our volunteers. The van, funded by an $88,000 grant from the Baker Hughes Foundation, will support Kids’ Meals in their mission to change mealtimes and lifetimes one lunch at a time by enabling the organization to deliver meals to more families in our communities.
Our team has partnered with Kids’ Meals since 2020. In 2025, our people volunteered over 400 hours helping prepare, decorate, and pack lunches. The Baker Hughes Foundation is deeply committed to advancing health and education in the communities where we live and work, and we are proud to support Kids’ Meals.
