corporate responsibility reporting
prioritizing issues for our reporting
Our corporate responsibility reporting focuses on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues that matter to our business and our stakeholders – investors, customers, host governments, local communities and employees. To select the content for our 2018 Corporate Responsibility Report Highlights and the corporate responsibility section of chevron.com, we interviewed subject matter experts from across our business segments to identify and validate relevant ESG topics. In addition, Chevron worked with a research firm that conducted anonymous surveys of institutional investors, nongovernmental organization (NGOs) and other external stakeholders. Both groups of stakeholders identified the same issues highlighted in the previous year’s report. Chevron's Global Issues Committee, a subcommittee of Chevron's Executive Committee, reviewed and validated our assessment and prioritization.
