We aim to meet national demand for more sustainable chemicals products (HSD)while reducing our impact on the environment – and all while providing valuable performance characteristics.
We recognize that the quality of life for future generations will depend on how well we all manage energy consumption today. So we are adopting and implementing energy efficient technologies and practices across our company for reduction in energy consumption in our buildings, transportation, and communities.
Energy efficiency is a key component in our strategy to increase the sustainability of our operations. Championing and practicing energy efficiency helps us reduce emissions, improve the operational performance of our plants and facilities, and promote environmentally responsible communities
sustainable business operations.
Sometimes, making an impact is about reducing your impact.
For us this means pushing the frontiers of knowledge and the boundaries of technology to deliver creative and innovative solutions that enhance our efficiency while minimizing the environmental impact of our operations.
From developing alternative energy capabilities to implementing emissions-reducing technologies — we consider environmental performance integral to sustainable business performance.
Mitigating health and safety risks, both on and off the job, is our top priority. We actively promote a culture that values employee health and well-being and we enforce strict safety protocols in all of our facilities and workplaces. Supplying to the nation with the energy and chemicals products it needs is important work. But taking care of the health and safety of our people is the most important work of all.
Across our organization, we live safety all day, every day, in our facilities and in our homes, on and off the job. Fundamentally, we aspire to be safety leaders in the industry, ensuring that safety is not just a standard, but an integral part of our business culture.
Our company is only as healthy as our workforce. So we promote an enterprise-wide focus on health and safety practices among our employees, on and off the job.
Our success is underpinned by our commitment to protecting our people and the contractors and suppliers who support our operations. An ethos of safe working underlies and sustains the performance of our entire workforce. Safety is one of our five core values and we strive to embed a safety first mindset in our employees and their families, and among our material and services supply contractors.
Our leadership actively integrates safety into our business strategies, processes, and performance measures to build a strong safety culture. Integrated with our company-wide rollout of an operational excellence framework is a safety management system that empowers organizations to identify and mitigate risks to improve safety performance. This top-down/bottom-up approach to mitigating safety risks creates a work culture that places a premium on ensuring employees have the training, equipment, and protocols they need to complete tasks safely.
Maintaining our infrastructure to the highest standards helps to improve our environmental performance while also increasing our operational efficiency. We are enhancing our maintenance capabilities with innovative technologies that reduce both inspection time and costs.
The greatest opportunity to reduce emissions from tomorrow’s automotive sector comes from developing innovative fuel formulations and efficient internal combustion engine technologies today.
Operational excellence
Sustainable business operations
There is no short cut to excellence. It takes vision, passion, and most of all, hard work.
Our companywide Operational program helps us achieve and sustain excellence by raising performance standards through continuous improvement of the company’s business processes, systems, and policies. Implementation of our framework enables organizations across the company to reach leading levels of efficiency, reliability, and safety in a cost-effective manner.
Turning great aspirations into reality requires great capabilities. We emphasize continuous development and skill building to drive performance through a wealth of courses, training centers, internships, and mentorship programs.
From our newest recruits to our experienced professionals and senior leadership, we offer capacity building programs tailored to help them meet the growing responsibilities linked to our evolving business.
Meeting the energy challenges of tomorrow requires investing in our people today.
In addition to supporting our incumbent workforce, we prepare new generations to be “job ready.” Our Industrial Sponsorship Program prepares students for jobs also in various departments like administration, operations, security, fabrication, and maintenance
To maximize the value from PPS move into new businesses and new geographies, our next generation needs a new set of leadership skills. Our Leadership Series imparts these skills through programs that address critical challenges at each level of responsibility, ensuring that core leadership skills are developed early and are enhanced at each successive level.
We are engineering solutions in-house that continuously enhance our productivity and efficiency in producing and delivering products to our customers.
In a challenging environment, no one player is able to succeed on its own. Collaboration enhances our competitiveness and further enables the expansion and strategic integration of our business.
And as our business has grown into new markets and products, so too has our collaborative network expanded, encompassing other energy producers, engineering companies, service providers, equipment manufacturers, R&D institutions, and universities.
As a world-leading energy business, we are uniquely qualified to make effective contributions to the overall solution.
Our contributions to the climate challenge are tangible expressions of our ethos, supported by company policies, of conducting our business in a way that addresses the climate challenge.
The challenge is to meet the world’s energy needs while managing emissions. We are answering this by focusing on:
We believe the key to combating climate change is to focus on reducing emissions as well as implementing abatement measures such as natural sinks that absorb CO2.
By connecting people and ideas, we expand possibilities to spur diversification, drive sustainable economic growth and add meaningful jobs to the labor market in our communities and beyond.
We believe in the power of ideas to create opportunities. And we believe in the power of people to amplify those ideas to generate even more opportunities with greater impact.
By connecting people and ideas, we expand the possibilities to spur diversification, drive sustainable economic growth, add meaningful jobs to the labor market, and contribute to the health and well-being of our communities and the people who call them home.
Our initiative to seed micro industries are designed to empower people to shape their own economic future by creating additional value from traditional crafts and natural resources. We have identified several micro industries that, with the right business model and support, are ripe for generating long-term impact for local communities.
We’re providing members of our communities with more than an additional source of income. We’re equipping them with the knowledge and skills to establish, manage, and develop sustainable businesses that will make a real difference in people’s lives.
For us, being a good citizen means more than doing good. It means acting with purpose in mobilizing our resources to generate opportunities that help make a positive impact on people and their communities.
We believe in the power of energy to transform lives, lift communities, advance human progress, and sustain our planet. When we put our energy to work, we enable others to seize opportunities that can change the world.
The quality of our future depends on what we do today.
We spend a lot of time in the field. So we understand better than anyone the importance of preserving the biodiversity of the environments in which we operate.
