As a leading manufacturer of basic materials including polymers, petrochemicals and fuels and a significant participant in the global economy, we have a responsibility to create value for our investors and customers. As concerned citizens, we have a responsibility to provide value to our employees and the communities where we operate. As members of the global community, we also have a responsibility to operate in a manner that protects people and the environment and preserves the planet for future generations.
To us, social responsibility means not only managing our facilities to protect the health and safety of our people, but also enhancing the communities where we operate. Similarly, environmental performance includes recognizing and addressing the fact that the manufacture and use of chemicals require care and expertise.
