Our Company Culture and Human Capital Strategy
Our people strategy and programs are designed and implemented in support of our
business and strategic objectives. In building and fostering great teams, we are guided
by the following:
• We strive to hire and promote top-talent employees with team-oriented work ethics
and values;
• Our pay, bene昀椀ts and support programs are designed to attract and retain excellent
employees and to reward innovation, ingenuity and excellence;
• We seek to provide a best-in-class work
environment built on a foundation of respect,
accountability and trust;
91% of employees are
"satis昀椀ed with the range of
bene昀椀ts Valero has to offer." 55
• We promote a culture of learning intended to
drive excellence at all levels of the organization and to foster career-long growth and
development opportunities for employees; and
• We continually assess employee performance, organizational structures and
succession plans to support operational excellence, ef昀椀ciency and effectiveness.
From our intern program to our Board, and at all levels in between, we strive to build
dynamic and engaged teams. We evaluate the effectiveness of our outreach, recruiting
and retention efforts, in part by reviewing the demographics of our intern program and
of our existing employee population each year, in accordance with our obligations as a
federal contractor.
