Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Callon Petroleum Company presents a mixed ethical profile. While its core oil and gas extraction business inherently conflicts with public health and planet-friendly practices, the company reports a 40% reduction in Scope 1 GHG emissions intensity and over 80% reduction in methane emissions. However, critics point to a $1.3 million EPA fine for alleged air pollution violations from tanks and flares. On worker respect, Glassdoor reviews show a 3.4/5 employee rating with some management concerns, though a CEO pay ratio of 18:1 is considered relatively fair. Callon also donated over $220,000 to technology programs in Texas.

Better Health for All

-10

Callon Petroleum Company is an oil and natural gas producer. Its revenue is derived from crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, which are products with well-established negative health outcomes when used. This means 100% of its principal goods and revenue cause severe, widespread health damage with no redeeming health benefits, leading to a -100 tier for both health_impact_core and harmful_revenue_share. The company's operations generate significant health-harming externalities from pollution. However, it has undertaken substantial remediation efforts, including a 40% reduction in GHG emissions intensity compared to a 2019 baseline, a 35% reduction in methane emissions intensity in 2022, and a 55% reduction in flare rate since 2019, resulting in a -70 tier for health_externalities.
