Chevron supports programs that benefit education, the community, the environment and training organizations.
Every year, Chevron sponsors community involvement programs such as AMIDEAST's Chevron Youth Camp. The program allows 20 Kuwaiti youth – both males and females – to spend time in the United States to familiarize themselves with Americans and their culture.
During 2006, Saudi Arabian Chevron and the Kuwait Gulf Oil Co. co-sponsored one of Kuwait's first surveys of plants and wildlife. Conducted by the Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research, the survey yielded valuable data and encouraging insights into the plants and wildlife in the vicinity of Joint Operations at Wafra. The program is in keeping with Chevron's environmental stewardship expectations, which include maintaining local biological diversity.
We also pride ourselves on protecting the health and safety of our employees, their families and the community. The company's hospital and field clinic for operations in the Partitioned Neutral Zone (PNZ) recorded 20,000 visits by employees, their families and other community members in 2008.
Reflecting our commitment to a safe work environment, Chevron has achieved impressive results in the PNZ. At the end of 2008, employees of Saudi Arabian Chevron at Mina Saud and Wafra had logged more than 11 million work-hours over the course of more than eight years without a lost-time incident. They also had logged more than 10.5 million work-hours without a recordable work-related injury.
Joint Operations has made significant progress in its Zero Discharge program to eliminate surface disposal of produced waters and reclaim former water disposal areas to international standards.
