continuing progress overview

Occidental's HES Principles demonstrate our commitment to developing and implementing programs which focus on continuous improvement in resource conservation, release reduction, pollution prevention and energy efficiency.

We set objectives that consider business issues, other environmental priorities, resource availability and past accomplishments, and allow managers to prioritize capital spending in accordance with the business segment HES risk management priorities.

HES professionals participate on project teams formed to develop oil and gas resources or improve chemical manufacturing. Team participation enhances the consideration of environmental conservation measures at the design stage of new facilities where the most cost-effective pollution reduction measures can be incorporated into the project.

This section presents a review of our recent progress in environmental responsibility. A full report of our HES activities is available in our Annual Report on Health, Environment & Safety.
