Our Commitment to Sustainability
The U.S. refining and petrochemical industries are committed to providing the critical fuel and petrochemical products that growing global populations need to thrive, and to do so sustainably.
Our Sustainability Pillars
We are committed and responsible stewards of the environment. We are doing more with less — reducing emissions, conserving energy, using water efficiently, preserving land and reducing waste to protect the climate, air, water and land around us today and for generations to come.
We foster a strong culture of safety throughout our industries and our communities, building on the progress that has led our industries to be amongst the safest of hundreds of industries within the manufacturing sector.
We help people and communities thrive by providing well-paying jobs for people of all backgrounds, building more inclusive and diversified workforces and communities, preparing the future workforce for jobs in our industries, and giving back to our communities through philanthropy and volunteerism.
We are addressing society’s biggest challenges — including building a lower-carbon future and advancing a more circular economy for plastics — and pushing past the status quo by driving innovation that will make life better, safer and more productive.
