2025 Valero Report on Guiding Principles - Flipbook - Page 20
Safety
Safety is our foundation
for success.
At Valero, we believe that safety and reliability
are important, not only for the protection of
our employees and communities, and the
cultural values we aspire to as a company, but
also for operational success. A decrease in the
number of employee and process safety events
should generally reduce unplanned shutdowns
and increase the operational reliability of
our refineries and plants. This, in turn, should
also translate into a safer workplace with
fewer environmental incidents and stronger
community relations. We strive to improve
safety and reliability performance by offering
year-round safety training programs for our
employees and contractors and by seeking to
promote the same expectations and culture
of safety. We also seek to enhance our safety
performance by conducting safety audits, quality
assurance visits, and comprehensive safety and
risk assessments at our facilities.
