Emergency response
captains, like the one
shown here at the
Valero Three Rivers
Refinery, typically are
employee volunteers.
They maintain strong
relationships with
local community
response teams to be
prepared for emergency
situations.
Safety Is Our Foundation for Success
At Valero, the safety of our employees, contractors
and communities is of utmost importance. Our robust
safety initiatives, year-round training programs and
extensive safety management systems all contribute
to our goal of safety excellence. In 2022, we spent
approximately $2.3 billion in capital to grow and
sustain our operations as part of our commitment to
safety, reliability, preventive equipment maintenance
and environmental mitigation. We conduct rigorous
internal and external safety audits, quality assurance
visits and comprehensive risk assessments at each
of our facilities to maintain excellence in our safety
performance.

Employee Leadership and Oversight
Employee leadership is
the single largest factor
for achieving excellence
in all we do. Leaders set
goals and objectives and
communicate the high
expectations necessary to
meet our commitment to
operational excellence.
