HES worldwide standard of care

Occidental maintains high performance standards which include internal policies that generally exceed government regulations, and are designed to provide the same degree of protection to employees, contractors and the public wherever we operate. Our programs are monitored regularly for compliance and effectiveness, and are reinforced by Occidental's dedication to pursuing HES goals with the same commitment applied to achieving operational and financial goals.

We track developing HES issues and trends by benchmarking practices of leading corporations as well as participating in proactive organizations such as the Global Environmental Management Initiative (GEMI), the World Environment Center (WEC), ORC Worldwide, the Auditing Roundtable and The Wildlife Habitat Council.

Regular assessments of organizational HES functions help assure compliance with laws and conformance to company policies, as well as identifying ways to continue strengthening internal management systems and to better integrate HES programs and objectives into all phases of business activities.
