Founded in 1919, Halliburton is celebrating its 100th year anniversary with the stakeholders-employees, customers and local communities- who helped the company reach this historic milestone.
“The Halliburton spirit of giving started with our founder Erle P. Halliburton, who, long ago, established our company’s commitment to honouring the communities where we live and work,” Sid Whyte, who is Halliburton’s Asia Pacific Region Senior Vice President, said.
“We are happy to continue his legacy and contribute to non-profit organisations whose work contribute greatly to those in our region’s key operating areas.”
