Our strategic cornerstone

Since our establishment in 1961, the refinery has delivered the energy that society has demanded. It is – and will become – our most premiere task. It is complex to run a refinery that operates in a highly competitive market, where the situation in the world has an influence on income. It requires a solidly anchored strategy.

Our strategic cornerstone defines our long-term plan and bridges the gap between where we are today and the future we envision. The strategy therefore sets the direction of how we meet new challenges, realise ambitions and utilise our strengths to continuously secure competitiveness in the market.

Building a proactive safety culture to ensure people act safely and without harm to the environment and to equipment.

Engaging people in meaningful and energised work as part of an agile empowered organisation.

Building strong commercial performance focused on operational excellence and cost consciousness.

Pursuing sustainable ways to reduce our carbon footprint and exploring green market opportunities.

Our behavioural compass

Since our beginning, we have been a value-oriented company. That means our values have been in focus of our actions. Always. It is our behavioural compass and sets the direction for all the decisions we make.

Adaptability

Our quick decision making and focus on continuous improvement enables us to adapt to change in pursuit of opportunities that generate value.

Innovation

We challenge accepted practice to find better ways of working to generate further value.

Discipline

We apply discipline and diligence to running our business and investing via in-depth insight and risk assessment. We have deep-rooted sector experience and a passion for operational excellence.

Accountability

We take responsibility for our actions and do what we say we are going to do.

We focus on creating an inclusive and multifarious working environment with equal job opportunities for everyone with respect for difference in experience, competencies, education, age, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, religion and political beliefs.
