ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE REPORT • 57 We will be a good neighbor by sharing our success with the communities where we live and work through volunteerism, charitable giving and the economic support of being a good employer . Valero looks for opportunities to collaborate with local officials, community and nonprofit leaders and fence- line residents to improve the quality of life and help build stronger communities. We work diligently to engage with stakeholders at all levels to understand local interests and needs, and partner with communities to address social, environmental and economic matters through meaningful involvement. Through multiple million-dollar investments, we focused on: • Improving access to vocational skills training and creating job opportunities for economically disadvantaged communities. • Supporting the transformation of green spaces to create a hub for community revitalization and a gathering place for families to enjoy the outdoors. • Funding the construction of a new food distribution center in neighborhoods where food insecurity is prevalent. Also, our employees selflessly volunteered thousands of hours to support schools, food banks, nursing homes, biodiversity projects, mentoring students and building community gardens, among other programs. Valero volunteers from our Wilmington refinery help with community beautification.
