54 Enhancing Physical Resilience In the last 10 years, Valero has invested more than $14 billion of capital to sustain its operations, including turnarounds, catalysts, investments in safety, preventive equipment maintenance, environmental mitigation, and reliability and regulatory compliance. Sustaining capital is used to keep our facilities performing and to mitigate and reduce physical risks to our operations and our people, including: • New infrastructure at raised elevation to reduce the effects of flooding. • Upgraded critical buildings, including control rooms and employee shelters resilient to physical risks. • Refineries designed to withstand hurricane forces, with safe shutdowns and personnel evacuations initiated in advance of severe storms. Valero’s Emergency Management Planning & Response Our emergency management planning and response program actively assesses potential risks posed to our people and operations, and implements solutions: • Emergency response plans at each facility that comply with all local, state and federal regulations, and are regularly updated with third-party assessments to ensure excellence. • Qualified emergency response teams that have built strong relationships with outside response personnel. • Regular drills and assessments to promote response readiness, incorporating the focus of our Goal Zero program. • Critical capital resources allocated to emergency planning and response in the strategic planning and capital budget processes to make our facilities efficient and resilient. • Use of emerging technologies to optimize decision-making and response execution.
