People First Drives Pragmatic Innovation

When you have employees working on oil production platforms and you are committed to People First, every person in your company must be serious about safety.

People First came naturally to Danos when my grandfather and his brother-in-law started the company in 1947; the initial team was almost all family members. By the time the company got big enough to hire from the outside, the culture of care and connection was firmly set. As an Evergreen® company, People First defines and drives everything we do today. It’s in our DNA.
