Physical Well-Being
Providing the time and resources our employees need
to be healthy is critical for success inside and outside
of work. Nutrition, exercise and rest are only part of the
equation. Being educated and motivated to improve
physical and mental wellness is equally important.
In support, Valero provides customized employee
programs companywide, including:
Comprehensive Health Care Plans —
97% of Eligible Employees Enrolled in
Medical Coverage in 2024
Company-paid bene昀椀ts for Valero's largest employee
group include elective bene昀椀t options, such as
Medical, Prescription Drug, Dental, Vision Insurance,
Flexible Spending Accounts, Health Savings Account,
Life Insurance, Legal Insurance and Group Critical
Illness.
The majority of full-time U.S. employees receive
company contributions to cover the full cost of
coverage under most medical bene昀椀t options.
Referred to as “Valero Provided Dollars,” this
investment allows employees 昀氀exibility to fully
customize bene昀椀t coverage for speci昀椀c individual
and family needs, while minimizing or eliminating
employee health care premiums. Outside the U.S.,
employees receive a signi昀椀cant contribution toward
the cost of health care coverage in their respective
countries. In the majority of cases, contributions cover
100% of the cost for employees.
On-Site Employee Wellness Centers and
Family Wellness Center (U.S.)
The goal of Valero on-site wellness centers is to
provide convenient access to high-quality primary
care for acute, routine and preventive services for
employees and, at corporate headquarters, their
eligible dependents. At certain Valero locations,
on-site wellness centers provide routine services,
including:
• Diagnostics and treatment of employee illnesses
and minor injuries
• Physician-led management of chronic conditions
• Annual vaccinations
• Allergy shots

Annual Wellness Assessments
Annual con昀椀dential wellness assessments are free
to Valero employees and certain eligible spouses
and retirees. This valuable individualized assessment
creates a comprehensive picture of personal health
and a baseline to allow for more educated, proactive
health decisions and discussions with the individual
health care provider.
4,048 employee annual wellness assessments
were completed companywide in 2024.
Fitness Centers, Subsidies and
Online Resources
Equipped 昀椀tness centers are available on-site at most
major U.S. locations, including a full-time 昀椀tness staff
at company headquarters.
Additionally, Total Wellness programs and resources
are designed to support the ongoing physical health
goals of our employees and to provide easy access
through in-person and virtual means.
Valero Child Care Center (or stipend
for child care services)
The children of Valero employees are an important
extension of Team Valero. Parents have access to
state-of-the-art, licensed and accredited childcare
centers, either on-site or within the employee’s local
area. Back-up child care and tutoring services are
also available through a Valero partnership.
Other
Medical specialist consultations, on-site
mammograms, mother’s rooms or designated areas
and nursing pods are also provided.

on-site wellness centers are a valued
bene昀椀t.41
