Does Baker Hughes Company support Israel?

We have not yet found publicly recorded donations from Baker Hughes Company. Absence of records does not confirm absence of support.

Filed under: Energy & oil companies · Companies that support Israel

Background

This pass found no record of Baker Hughes contracts, operations, investments, or donations in Israel. The plausible leads all attach to other companies: drilling and completion services on Energean's Karish and Karish North fields went to Halliburton, the subsea EPCI contract to TechnipFMC, and the FPSO topsides to Siemens, while Leviathan's subsea trees came from OneSubsea/Schlumberger — energy trade press records no Baker Hughes role on Karish, Katlan, Leviathan, or Tamar. Baker Hughes' visible footprint in Israel is minimal: its Druck pressure-measurement brand is represented there by an independent local distributor (Instrumetrics Engineering, Tel Aviv), not a company office, and the company's 2024 proxy statement lists exactly one employee in Israel in its per-country headcount table. Its 10-K mentions Israel only in generic geopolitical-risk language, its foundation's grants are environment- and community-focused, it has had no corporate PAC since 1996, and no fact-checker has evaluated any Baker Hughes–Israel claim.

What we checked

• News & official statements — 2026-07-21
  Searched trade and general press for Baker Hughes contracts, services, or investments in Israel (Karish, Karish North, Katlan, Leviathan, Tamar, Energean, NewMed, Chevron Israel): none found. Karish services traced to Halliburton (drilling), TechnipFMC (subsea EPCI), Siemens (FPSO topsides); Leviathan subsea trees to OneSubsea/Schlumberger. No donations, statements, or support found.
• Nonprofit tax filings (Form 990) — 2026-07-21
  Baker Hughes Foundation (EIN 76-0441292, Houston, TX — matches HQ) reviewed via ProPublica/Cause IQ: 2024 grants are environment/community-focused (One Tree Planted $310,000, Earth Day Network $152,500, Vita-Living $50,150 among ~990 grants); no Israel-linked grantees (FIDF, JNF, Magen David Adom, United Hatzalah, Birthright, Israel Bonds, StandWithUs) identified.
• SEC filings — 2026-07-21
  EDGAR full-text 'israel' hits on CIK 0001701605 (12 total) reviewed: 10-K mentions are geopolitical-risk boilerplate ('conflicts... between Israel and Hamas'); the 2024 proxy mention is a one-employee entry ('Israel — 1') in a per-country headcount table; the rest are conflict-minerals country lists and incidental prospectus text. No Israel operations, contracts, or investments disclosed.
• Federal election records (FEC) — 2026-07-21
  No active corporate PAC: the Baker Hughes Incorporated PAC (C00042010) filed its last report in 1996 and terminated; FEC committee searches for 'Baker Hughes' and 'BHGE' show no successor committee, so there are no PAC disbursements to check.
• Independent fact-checkers — 2026-07-21
  No Snopes/Reuters/AFP/Logically Facts fact-check of any Baker Hughes–Israel claim exists. Baker Hughes is absent from the BDS movement's target lists, the USCPR boycott list, and Ethical Consumer's Palestine boycott list (whose energy-sector focus is Chevron); absence there corroborates the no-records finding.
