18 OUR PEOPLE AND OUR COMMUNITIES
In 2010, we invested more than $2.2 billion in our
assets – capital projects and improvements that help
us continue to be ecient and reliable. While these
are essential to the success of our company, no
investment is more impactful than those we make in
our employees and the world around us.
Employees at Valero sit at the heart of our
Commitment to Excellence in business. As our most
important asset, employees’ needs are evaluated
at every turn – from competitive pay and benets
to resources for life and family management.
Continuing education for career development is
encouraged through an in-house, systemwide
learning and education operation, and leadership
opportunities are available to every individual.
Health and wellness are also essential for our
employees, so annual health screenings and
access to tness programs continue to be worthy
investments.
As an industry leader and visible community partner,
Valero embraces the challenge to create measurable
change in the communities where our employees
live and work. Above all, Valero’s goal is to improve lives
through our products and our people. This remains
true regardless of the state of our business – in
strong times or during a weak economy, Valero is
committed to providing consistent, dependable
support to nonprot organizations and their causes
in our community. Through organized leadership
and strong civic relationships, our volunteer eorts
led to greater stability, educational opportunity and
condence for the individuals we served in 2010.
Financially, Valero and its employees gave
generously in 2010, pledging $10.6 million to the
PATH TO
EXCELLENCE
Our People and Our Communities
INVESTING IN OUR EMPLOYEES AND OUR COMMUNITIES IS AN INVESTMENT IN
THE FUTURE.
