We want to assure our shareholders, our employees, their families and the communities where they live and work that we are committed to operating our assets safely, efficiently and environmentally responsibly. It’s part of our culture and has been throughout our history.

We expect employees and contractors to take personal responsibility to complete each work day without incident by identifying risks and taking actions to prevent incidents, injuries and adverse environmental impacts.

We require employees and contractors to comply with all applicable environmental, safety and health regulations.

We expect employees and contractors to immediately report unsafe conditions, unauthorized operating conditions and spills/releases.

We encourage employee involvement -- seeking the innovative thinking and contributions of each employee -- to foster a culture of regulatory compliance, where employees and contractors treat all of our stakeholders with dignity, respect, honesty and sensitivity.

We design, construct, operate and maintain our assets to ensure safety and mechanical integrity, and to address environmental aspects associated with our efforts to meet or exceed environmental compliance.

Simply put, through our actions we seek to be recognized by our stakeholders as a leader in protecting the environment and the safety and health of our employees, contractors, customers and the public.
