Environmental, Social & Corporate Governance
Environmental, Social & Governance Statement
At the core of our mission, CrossAmerica is a responsible, people-focused organization, committed to the well-being of our employees, customers and the environment. We are dedicated to protecting and improving the environmental wellbeing of the communities in which we live and serve so we can pass down a cleaner, healthier and safer environment for future generations to enjoy.
Environmental
We strictly follow local, state and federal requirements to minimize environmental impact and reduce injury. We develop strong business relationships with local, state and federal regulatory agencies.
Additionally, we educate our employees and business partners on the importance of environmental protection and regulations. We provide comprehensive training programs for all employees, respond immediately to underground storage system alarms, and follow strict protocols for responding to leaks and spills. Our breadth of knowledge allows us to meet environmental deadlines in a timely and effective manner.
We also proactively modify, upgrade and repair our sites to deter preventable environmental impacts.
Social
It takes all levels of our organization to support the Environment, Social & Governance requirements that affect our business.
We are committed to operating responsibly, addressing potential hazards to our employees and customers.
We are responsible for our own safety and the safety of those around us. We encourage and empower our employees to understand and mitigate, when possible, the risks/hazards encountered while performing their jobs.
We seek new ideas to reduce risks to ourselves, our customers and the world around us.
Additionally, we strongly believe in engaging with the communities where we do business. Learn more on our Community Involvement page here.
