• Engage with all areas of the organization to help embed a culture where everyone can return home safely each day, while also protecting and enhancing land, air, and water resources for future generations.

• Inspire and influence colleagues to work responsibly by understanding legal requirements and demonstrating how strong SHE practices can improve operational performance.
