Commitments
We are a proven industry leader with a specific focus on sustainability and social responsibility. We respect people and communities.
Simply put, it’s about doing the right thing.
Safety
We all have the right to Health and Safety. This is at the heart of our values and our duty.
We are convinced that no task is so urgent that we cannot take the time to perform our work safely.
We are committed to providing a safe and healthy working environment and ensuring physical and mental well-being.
We all share the responsibility to make Health and Safety a prerequisite for any activity to achieve these objectives. Every manager is accountable and must lead by example.
We know, looking out for each other is the best way to get back to those we care about. This is how we work.
We are Vallourec
Diversity and Inclusion
At Vallourec, we believe that people can be their best when they feel respected and connected. So bring your unique perspectives, experiences, and background here. It’s how we WIN AS ONE.
At Vallourec, we value all voices and encourage our employees to express their perspectives freely. In fact, we depend on this diversity of thought.
Our best solutions for customers come from leveraging all our team members’ creativity, talent, and insights. We believe in the power of continuous improvement through shared efforts. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion is part of our values and everyday actions. We encourage our leaders to communicate openly and listen closely, as these actions help create an environment where all voices are valued.
We firmly reject hate, bias, or prejudice. This includes discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, or physical ability.
While we have made progress, we recognize that there is still more to accomplish. Our journey toward inclusion is ongoing, and we strive to keep moving forward
Environmental
CO2 Emissions
Everyone is talking about climate, but we are doing something about it. We started in the mid 2000s with our first Green House Gas project. While others are just starting their carbon reductions, we have already reduced our GHG emissions by 17% from 2008 to 2020.
As part of these ongoing efforts, Vallourec joined the Science- Based Targets initiative (SBTi) at the end of 2018 and has formally verified the reduction of our CO2 emissions trajectory compatible with the 2015 Paris Agreement, becoming the only company in the oil & gas sector to do so.
Pipe Production - A Continuous Life Cycle
Recycling is intrinsic to our business. We produce 100% of our steel from recycled scrap steel materials, resulting in the recycling of 1.5-billion pounds. Furthermore, the products we produce are 100% recyclable.
Waste recycling and landfill avoidance are key aspects at all our NA sites. Vallourec North America has sustained a recycling rate.
Community Outreach
Vallourec is dedicated to supporting the communities where we operate. We focus on partnering with local organizations to create a significant and immediate impact, aiming for strategic collaborations that lead to long-lasting change.
Giving back is important to many of our employees, so we provide various opportunities for individuals at all levels of our organization to get involved and make a difference.
In the past, teams from our Youngstown and Houston locations have contributed to making the earth a greener place. We landscaped downtown areas, cleaned up roadsides, and built greenhouses at a community botanical park. Recently, we organized fundraising efforts to provide school supplies for underserved youth communities, hosted Junior Achievement programs, and prepared meals for those in need during the holidays. Our teams in Houston and Youngstown also participated in World Cleanup Day, volunteering to pick up trash on the streets they have adopted.
