Stewardship with a Purpose Image

Stewardship with a Purpose


At Flint Hills Resources, stewardship encompasses the responsible management of our actions and the resources entrusted to our care in ways that respect the rights of others. It means we help provide products people need and use every day, products that help make modern life possible and improve people’s lives. And we do this responsibly by prioritizing safety and environmental progress and contributing meaningfully to the communities we call home.

Four Pillars of Stewardship

From our refineries in Pine Bend and Corpus Christi to the more than 4,000 miles of pipeline we manage, the products we produce, such as transportation fuels and the wide array of coproducts that come from refining petroleum, are foundational to the economy. The following four focus areas demonstrate how we innovate and continuously improve our products, how we produce them and how we engage with our communities.

Health & Safety


There is nothing more important than the health and safety of our employees, contractors and the people who live or work near our facilities. This safety commitment encompasses process and personal safety, as well as systems to manage the safety and integrity of the 4,000 miles of pipeline that we operate.

Environmental


From our daily operations to the selection, design and execution of projects, we constantly strive to use fewer resources, eliminate waste, and minimize the emissions associated with the products we make.

Recognizing there is no perfect energy source, it’s important for us to continually innovate and discover new and better ways to meet the world’s growing energy and modernization needs. We strive to accomplish this while simultaneously minimizing emissions. We also continue to invest in and experiment with new technologies that can improve our performance, improve the efficiency of our operations and reduce our carbon intensity.

People & Communities


Flint Hills Resources always tries to make a positive difference in the communities we call home. Our employees routinely volunteer in their communities, and the company contributes to a variety of organizations that protect wildlife and habitat, advance STEAM education and promote safety in our communities.

Innovation


Marketplace competition drives innovation and leads to new discoveries and other ways to improve people's lives. We seek to transform every facet of our operations by incorporating technologies for better performance. Examples such as advanced automation, remote sensor monitoring and machine learning help make our facilities safer and more efficient.
