Cordillera Energy Partners has developed comprehensive plans, procedures, and guidelines that are designed to protect human health and safety, and our natural environment, by systematically achieving compliance with federal, state, and local regulations. However, we believe commitment to health, safety, and the environment extends beyond simple compliance. Therefore, Cordillera has fostered a business culture, shared among employees and contractors alike, with the following core values and commitments:
- We understand that people live where we work and our business goals will not be achieved if we do not protect the health and property of our landowners, local citizens, and the general public. We strive to establish a reputation in the communities where we operate that is consistent with this understanding.
- Sound health, safety, and environmental principals are fundamentally incorporated throughout our entire business process at all times. It starts with a financial commitment from top management, is included in all stages of business planning and job design, and is transferred to field staff for execution.
- Cordillera encourages open and honest discussion regarding health, safety, and environmental protection at all levels of the organization at all times. Guidelines, policies, and training cannot cover all situations we will encounter. Ultimately, it is every employee and contractor’s personal responsibility to use sound judgment to protect his or her own safety and health.
- Cordillera is constantly evaluating the technical and financial feasibility of both established and new operating practices to aid in the responsible balance of our business activities with impacts to habitat diversity, plant and animal populations, and other environmental considerations.
We will not compromise these values and commitments at any time or for any reason.
