Social Responsibility

San Francisco Refinery

San Francisco Refinery Year the Citizens Advisory Council was Established
1995

Community Advisory Panel
The Rodeo Community Advisory Panel (CAP) was formed in 1995 with 12 members from areas neighboring the refinery. The CAP is an advisory body with the purpose of reviewing, discussing, and making recommendations on issues of concern to its members, the community and the company.

The objectives of the CAP are to function as a resource through which ConocoPhillips can identify and discuss issues of community concern, provide perspectives from the membership categories and geographical areas serving on the CAP; suggest ways in which ConocoPhillips can strengthen its relationship with its neighbors; review and monitor projects and incidents at the refinery; comment and share expertise regarding company-identified actions, projects and activities.

The CAP provides feedback to ConocoPhillips and suggests ways to strengthen the relationship with the community. Its role is advisory in nature and the CAP is not asked to approve or reject any actions taken by the company.

ConocoPhillips actively works to be responsive to the concerns and recommendations of the CAP and provide such resources, including outside technical assistance, as may be needed by the CAP to perform its function.

Long Term Goal
The goal of the CAP is to create an atmosphere in which the refinery can prosper via communications and partnership.
