Social Responsibility

Doing the right thing. Social responsibility is an integral part of Tesoro’s core values.

Our deep commitment to safety and environmental stewardship, community involvement and corporate governance starts at the highest level of the company. By dedicating ourselves to preserving, protecting and improving the world around us, we assure the vitality of the markets and communities we serve, as well as the sustainability of our own operations.

Part of Tesoro’s incentive-based compensation program focuses on our performance and achievements in environment, health and safety. This places responsibility and accountability in the hands of all employees, making it not just a company pledge, but a companywide practice.

Health and Safety

Our commitment to social responsibility also means a deep dedication to the well-being and safety of our employees. We have implemented numerous health and safety programs to create a safe and injury-free workplace. Tesoro’s location-based safety staff members are supported by a corporate team, with a major emphasis on identifying, sharing and implementing best practices across the company.

Environment

It is Tesoro’s policy to achieve a high standard of environmental care in conducting its business. We seek continuous improvement in environmental management. What’s more, we have developed several voluntary programs, partnered with community groups and implemented employee environmental training, in order to conserve natural resources, minimize wastes, improve processes and – above all – protect the environment.

Governance

We operate within a culture of compliance. Obeying the law – both in spirit and its letter – is the foundation on which our standards are built. However, complying with the law is not our only responsibility. We routinely consider not only what is required by law, but also what is simply the right thing to do.

In addition, we expect every employee, officer and director to read and understand our Code of Business Conduct and follow it in their daily business activities. Learn more about Corporate Governance at Tesoro.

Community

We measure our success not only by the bottom line but also by our success as a responsible corporate citizen. Volunteerism and philanthropy are principles of Tesoro’s business and company culture. We are active members of the communities where our employees live and work by partnering with our surrounding communities, donating not only money, but our time and support.
