Operational Excellence
Achieving World-Class Performance

It is the policy of Chevron Corporation to protect the safety and health of people and the environment, and to

conduct our operations reliably and efficiently. The systematic management of safety, health, environment,

reliability and efficiency to achieve world-class performance is defined as Operational Excellence (OE). Our

commitment to OE is embodied in The Chevron Way value of Protecting People and the Environment, which

places the highest priority on the health and safety of our workforce and protection of our assets and the

environment.

We will accomplish this through disciplined application of our Operational Excellence Management System

(OEMS). Our OEMS consists of three parts: Leadership Accountability, Management System Process and OE

Expectations.

Leadership is the largest single factor for success in OE. Leaders are accountable not only for achieving results,

but achieving them in the right way by behaving in accordance with our values. Leaders direct the Management

System Process to drive improvement in OE results. The Management System Process consists of five steps:

• Vision and Objectives - Developing an OE vision, world-class objectives, metrics and targets based on corporate

objectives, benchmarking data and other applicable critical business drivers.

• Assessment - Completing a comprehensive evaluation to identify priority areas in OE processes and

performance against established objectives.

• Planning - Developing three-year plans to manage priorities and incorporating those plans into business plans

and assigning accountabilities.

• Implementation - Implementing planned actions and monitoring plan progress and OE performance.

• Review - Annually evaluating progress on performance and identifying necessary adjustments to plans that result

in the goal of achieving world-class results.

We will assess and take steps to manage potential risks to our employees, contractors, the public and the

environment within the following framework of OE Expectations:

1. Security of Personnel and Assets - Providing a secure environment in which business operations may be

conducted successfully.
2. Facilities Design and Construction - Designing and constructing facilities to prevent injury, illness and incidents

and to operate reliably, efficiently and in an environmentally sound manner.

3. Safe Operations - Operating and maintaining facilities in a manner that does not cause injuries, illnesses or

incidents.

4. Management of Change - Managing both permanent and temporary changes to prevent incidents.

5. Reliability and Efficiency:

○ Reliability - Operating and maintaining facilities to sustain mechanical integrity and prevent incidents.

○ Efficiency - Maximizing efficiency of operations and conserving natural resources.

6. Third-Party Services - Systematically addressing and managing contractor conformance to OE through

contractual agreements.

7. Environmental Stewardship - Working to prevent pollution and waste; striving to continually improve

environmental performance and limiting impacts from our operations.

8. Product Stewardship - Managing potential risks of our products throughout the products' life-cycles.

9. Incident Investigation - Investigating incidents to identify, broadly communicate and correct root causes of

incidents to reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

10. Community Awareness and Outreach - Reaching out to the community and engaging in open dialogue to build

trust.

11. Emergency Management - Having preparedness plans in place to quickly and effectively respond to and recover

from any emergency.

12. Compliance Assurance - Complying and verifying conformance with company policy and all applicable laws and

regulations; applying responsible standards where laws and regulations do not exist; enabling employees and

contractors to understand their safety, health and environmental responsibilities.

13. Legislative and Regulatory Advocacy - Working ethically and constructively to influence proposed laws and

regulations, and debate on emerging issues.
