Chevron strives to protect the safety and health of people and the environment, and to conduct our operations reliably and efficiently. The systematic management of process safety, personal safety and health, environment, reliability and efficiency to achieve world-class performance is how we define Operational Excellence (OE).
Our commitment to OE is embodied in The Chevron Way value of Protecting People and the Environment, which places the highest priority on the health and safety of our workforce and the protection of our assets and the environment.
We approach the five areas of OE as one priority because success in each helps ensure success in the others, and ultimately, this success becomes a powerful driver for robust business performance.
Safe, reliable, efficient and environmentally sound operations just make good business sense, and we strive to complete every task, the right way, every time.
Operational Excellence is based on five objectives:
- Achieve an incident- and injury-free workplace.
- Promote a healthy workforce and mitigate significant workplace health risks.
- Identify and mitigate environmental and process safety risks.
- Operate with industry-leading asset integrity and reliability.
- Efficiently use natural resources and assets.
