ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE REPORT • 35 SAFETY COMMUNITY PEOPLE GOVERNANCE ENVIRONMENT Valero donated $1 million to the Memphis River Parks Partnership in support of planting more than 1,000 trees at the newly redesigned Tom Lee Park, which will provide a community gathering place with educational, fitness and recreational opportunities. Valero volunteers from our Memphis refinery assisted with the tree planting. Valero volunteers at our Pembroke refinery planted over 500 trees on company-owned land in an effort to “re-wild,” or restore and protect, natural areas through the planting of native broadleaf woodland, which also promotes nature-based carbon storage. Valero is collaborating with BCarbon, a nonprofit, nature-based carbon dioxide capture and storage registry, to develop a 1,000 mile living shoreline project in the Texas Gulf Coast, consisting of oyster reef breakwater systems. These natural bank barriers help to restore shoreline habitat, reduce erosion, improve water quality and enhance fish and wildlife habitat. Protecting the wetlands of the Texas coast also protects endangered and threatened species such as the whooping crane.
