Oxy's commitment to equal employment opportunity
and a workplace free from
harassment
Dr. Ray R. Irani
Chairman of the Board, President
and
Chief Executive Officer
The commitment of Occidental Petroleum Corporation and its subsidiaries to maintain a
work environment in which everyone is treated with dignity and respect has been restated
many times over the years. We expect all supervisors, managers, executives, employees
and directors to adhere to the principles of equal employment opportunity and affirmative
action and to maintain a work environment free from prohibited harassment and violence. This policy is summarized in Occidental's Code of Business Conduct.
If you become aware of conduct that may violate this policy and are not comfortable
talking directly with the offender or if that has not been effective, you should report the
situation to your supervisor, the Human Resources Department, the appropriate Segment
Compliance Officer or to the Occidental Compliance line at 800-0XY-7702. The company
will conduct an investigation with sensitivity to confidentiality to the extent practical. No
employee will be subject to retaliation for making a report or cooperating with the
investigation.
Our Equal Employment Opportunity policy is intended to ensure that we maintain a work
environment that enables every employee to fully contribute to our success. I have every
confidence all employees will comply with this important policy.
