Expanding Product Stewardship

Managing potential risks of our products is one of the key expectations of our Operational Excellence Management System. Our product stewardship efforts include undertaking risk assessments to identify, assess, and determine ways to manage potential issues and concerns that may be related to new and existing products from their conception and development to final disposition.

In 2005 and 2006, assessments were conducted in Kazakhstan and Ukraine, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Africa, Thailand, and the United States.

Chevron's product stewardship community of practice comprises subject matter experts from selected groups across the company. The group's role is to share knowledge and provide ongoing guidance to employees on implementation of processes and tools related to product stewardship.
