We are committed to our vision to
be a world-class competitor in the
global energy business, generating
industry-leading returns on our
investments.
In challenging times, it is easy to focus on the short-
term and lose sight of a long-term vision for the
future. Valero is engaged in a disciplined strategy
to realize our vision using an employee-focused,
socially conscious, community-minded, safe, reliable
and environmentally responsible approach.
Aggressive steps are necessary to meet the
many challenges of the future. We face a difcult
economic recovery, government actions that
attack our industry, and a surplus of global rening
capacity. Now more than ever, every investment
we make, every action we take, must be directly
and efciently tied to the achievement of our
vision. With excellence as our guiding principle, we
believe that we will achieve our long-term vision
as the economy regains its strength. Our discipline
and integrity will allow Valero to emerge from this
business cycle stronger and more competitive than
ever, beneting all of our stakeholders.
