SAFETY COMMUNITY PEOPLE GOVERNANCE ENVIRONMENT ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE REPORT • 53 2021 Emergency Response With refineries along coastlines and ethanol plants in the U.S. Midwest, Valero evaluates and prepares for physical risks to its facilities from natural disasters, including hurricanes and tornadoes, and other threats. Amid a pandemic in 2021, Team Valero was tested by Winter Storm Uri and Hurricane Ida. While the impacts of both storms were far-reaching, our plans, preparations and response helped to mitigate the risks to people, assets, surrounding communities and the environment. A major winter and ice storm, Uri had widespread impact across the U.S. in February 2021, resulting in extensive blackouts and the worst energy infrastructure failure in the history of the state of Texas, where half of our refineries are located. Team Valero, along with business partners and contractors, executed an unprecedented multi-site response that assessed, prioritized and made critical repairs to return sites to operation as soon as possible. In the summer of 2021, Hurricane Ida, a Category 4 hurricane, struck the Louisiana coast, affecting our St. Charles and Meraux refineries as well as causing devastation across the surrounding communities. Once again, we put our emergency preparedness and response plans to work, and both refineries were shut down in a safe, controlled manner in advance of the hurricane landfall. After the storm, we worked to stabilize homes and provided shelter and basic needs to employees, which enabled them to focus on recovery and restart efforts. We successfully restarted both refineries within days. First Week Response to Hurricane Ida: • 32 support staff at the refineries within 24 hours. • Delivered $125,000 worth of toiletries and personal items for our employees and their families. • Provided ~ 35,000 gallons of gasoline/diesel to first responders, local governments, our employees and contractors. • Distributed 200 generators, 200 chainsaws, 300 extension cords, 700 gas cans and two semi-trailer loads of 10-pound ice bags. • Served ~ 9,400 meals to employees and contractors. • Repaired 165 homes.
