Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Harvest Natural Resources faced a significant ransomware attack in February 2025, with attackers exfiltrating extensive business, financial, and HR data. Reports suggest existing security measures were bypassed, and multi-factor authentication was not universally enforced. Critics also point to HNR's core fossil fuel extraction business as fundamentally conflicting with 'Planet-Friendly Business' and 'Better Health for All,' contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution without significant mitigation. Operations in regions like Venezuela raise concerns about potential corruption risks and impacts on communities.
