104 Stockholders With our stockholders, we aim to maintain an open and consistent dialogue throughout the year to respond to their priorities and receive their feedback on different matters. Indigenous Tribes We work with indigenous tribes to preserve sites with biodiverse, historical, cultural and spiritual significance. For instance, during the construction of the Diamond Pipeline in Oklahoma and Arkansas, 23 indigenous communities were contacted to participate in the permitting process. After a consultation process, more than 200 locations were identified to require tribal and archaeological surveying along the 440-mile route. Neighbors In community engagement, our environmental justice policy has led our efforts aiming to treat our fence-line neighbors fairly, regardless of race, color, national origin, culture or income. We work to ensure our neighbors have an opportunity to understand our proposed activities and to provide them with a meaningful opportunity to have their concerns heard, with the goal of providing them with greater comfort in our operations. Government Officials At local, state and federal levels, we work closely with government officials to share information about our business and understand public policies. Government officials are invited to our refineries and plants to learn about our operations, products and contributions, and their impact on the communities. Nongovernmental Organizations (NGOs) Valero is committed to constructive dialogue with NGOs to better understand and address their concerns. For instance, as part the permitting of the coker project in our refinery in Port Arthur, Texas, we engaged with multiple NGOs in the area to provide them with details on this capital project, including the improvement of efficiency and the strengthening of the refinery to ensure economic development to the area for years to come. Industry and Business Partners Valero encourages responsible business development and works with industry and business partners to see that environmental, employee, social, health, governance and ethical concerns are addressed. Our engagement program includes dialogue with stakeholders ranging from stockholders and regulatory agencies to community organizers.
