Culture

API and its employees take pride in being the problem-solvers who tackle the world’s greatest energy challenges. We are a principles-based organization in service to our member companies. Our principles guide our staff in fulfilling API’s mission through collaboration, respect, initiative, accountability, inclusivity and personal development.

We are a team of diverse, talented professionals advancing an important mission in a fast-paced, rewarding environment. API’s leadership understands the value of investing in the long-term success of each team member and providing ongoing opportunities for achievement and advancement.

API’s Diversity Advisory Council and Team API are pillars to API’s culture and serve to connect our employees with one another and to API.

Diversity Advisory Council (DAC)

Cultivating a diverse and inclusive workplace is a top priority – making us a stronger, more resilient, and valued association that advances our members' priorities, ideals and API's principles. (From API’s DE&I goals document)

The DAC is a team of API employee volunteers who work with API leadership in support of strengthening API’s culture of mutual respect and belonging for all employees and to foster a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace.

Team API

We believe that making a difference in the communities in which we live and work is more than just being a good neighbor.

Enhancing community engagement while creating opportunities for staff camaraderie is the mission of TeamAPI. This includes active engagement with local charities and organizations, planning employee social events, and the promotion of fitness and healthy living.

From charitable contributions to reading to elementary school children during lunch breaks, to blood drives, supporting our troops, to clothing/school supplies/toy drives, API staff members are committed to getting involved and making a difference.

Hear from Employees

There is no better way to learn about the culture of API than to hear from our team. Here’s what they are saying:

“Two years with API have gone by so quickly! The saying, “Time flies when you’re having fun” resonates with me in a more meaningful way since joining the organization. The work is challenging, rewarding, and enjoyable. API truly values and takes care of their employees, promoting a strong work/life balance.”

“The oil and gas industry improves lives by providing affordable energy and supplying the feedstock to numerous goods that enhance our quality of life. As the world transitions towards a cleaner energy future, we continue to strive to provide energy in a way that is safe and protective to health. Working in the health field for API has allowed me to work on different types of projects; it is work with a purpose, and it is work that is bigger than me. By helping others, I am becoming the best version of myself.”
