Decision-Making Process
Four “yes” answers are required to qualify an action as ethical and in step with Chevron’s values.
1.Is it legal?
If the legality of an action is questionable, do not proceed. Chevron always wants you to uphold the law. If you need information about which laws apply in a given situation, talk with your supervisor, manager, the Law department or Compliance.
2.Is it consistent with Company policy?
If the proposed action does not comply with Company policy, you should not do it.
3.Is it consistent with The Chevron Way?
Consider whether the action would be consistent with our Company’s core values.
4.Would I be comfortable if it were made public?
Ask yourself if you would make the same decision if you knew that it would be reported on the front page of tomorrow’s newspaper.
