2015 Report to Our Community | 3

letter from our refinery general manager

Friends,

While we did not have any major projects underway,

2015 was a busy year for the Chevron Pascagoula

Refinery. More than 1,500 employees and 2,500

contractors worked nearly 6 million hours to provide

high-quality energy products to our customers and

value to our investors. We work hard to operate safely

and responsibly, to be a good corporate citizen, and to

be a partner in the community’s progress.

Chevron has been part of Jackson County for more

than 50 years, and throughout that time we have

been proud to support programs that help make this

community such a special place. In 2015, Chevron

employees volunteered more than 7,000 hours with

organizations and non-profits throughout the area. Through contributions totaling

more than $1 million, we also continued our efforts in economic development, our

investment in local students, and our focus on health and the environment. Whether

expanding STEM education in Jackson County schools, cleaning up trash in our inland

waterways, or collecting food and toys to benefit local families in need, we are grateful

for the partnerships that make these efforts successful.

This report provides insight into the many ways Chevron is involved in our community.

I hope you find it informative, and share our vision for the continued improvement of

the quality of life for residents in Jackson County and the entire coastal region.

Sincerely,

Bruce Chinn

Focus on the Future

For more than a decade, Chevron has been a proud supporter of Excel By 5, an early childhood

education community initiative to make sure children are happy, healthy and ready to learn. In 2015,

Excel By 5 had approximately 30,000 beneficiaries and worked with almost 40 Mississippi communities.

Expanding STEM Opportunities

Project Lead The Way, with Chevron funding, has expanded from one pilot high school in Jackson

County in 2013, to 17 elementary schools, six middle schools and six high schools with PLTW programs.

The organization inspires and empowers K-12 students to build and demonstrate in-demand,

transportable skills by applying problem-solving strategies to complex, real-world challenges. This year,

31 Refinery engineers volunteered as class mentors to local Project Lead The Way classrooms.

motivates individuals to have a daily goal

protecting our environment

We believe that developing energy and protecting natural resources go hand in hand.

With some of the industry’s highest environmental standards, the Pascagoula Refinery

is home to a variety of native wildlife and four successful wetland mitigation sites.

Whether partnering with local conservation agencies, working with local students to

spread knowledge about their environment or collecting litter in Jackson County, the

Pascagoula Refinery continues to make a positive difference in environmental outreach

and advocacy.

Environmental Stewardship

In 2015, as part of Earth

Day, Chevron launched an

awareness campaign to

highlight the efforts of people

and organizations in the

community who are advocates

for the environment. Refinery

volunteers also helped

collect waste during Jackson

County’s annual Household

Hazardous Waste Collection

Day, and worked with

Cherokee Elementary to plant

fruits and vegetables.

The new 5,000-square-foot Pascagoula River Audubon Center in Moss Point opened its doors on

programs. The center will serve as a community and tourist destination, and a focal point of wetland and

habitat restoration along the Pascagoula River and coastal Mississippi.

the power of human energy

As the Chevron Pascagoula Refinery has grown through the years, one thing that hasn’t changed is Chevron’s

commitment to the community.

raising money for local initiatives, it’s the Refinery employees and contractors who make the difference.

We salute both the volunteers and the charitable organizations for being forces for positive change in our community every day.
