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, 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.

Our data from 2018 reflect the progress we’ve made in our environmental, health and safety, and social performance. We follow  IPIECA/API/IOGP^* oil and gas industry guidance on voluntary sustainability reporting. For 2018, Chevron reported on all 34 indicators. Read the IPIECA/API/IOGP content index

Chevron believes that environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance is important to our success and long-term viability. We continuously strive to enhance our communication with stakeholders on ESG matters and improve our ESG performance.
