HOUSTON, Nov. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Western
Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE: WES) ("WES" or "Western Midstream")
announced the release of its inaugural Environmental, Social and
Governance (ESG) Report.
"Western Midstream's first ESG Report exemplifies our employees'
dedication to cultivating a culture of strong corporate
responsibility while safely and responsibly managing our daily
operations," said President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief
Financial Officer, Michael Ure.
"We're proud of the progress we've made in reducing our
environmental footprint and contributing positively to our local
communities, workforce, and other stakeholders. Now, as we
transition to a stand-alone midstream business, it's imperative
that we introduce stakeholders to our approach to ESG issues and
our successes to date."
As detailed in the report, Western Midstream's ESG strategy
focuses on three pillars: supporting sustainable environments,
focusing on people, and operating responsibly. Ure continued,
"These pillars are rooted in our operating philosophy as
demonstrated by our direct-to-wellhead pipeline infrastructure and
design of our facilities, which significantly reduces release
risks, eliminates storage equipment at the well-site, and reduces
emissions. Additionally, we play an important role in delivering
natural gas, a lower-emission bridge fuel that will assist in the
global transition to cleaner energy sources. We look forward to
strengthening our ESG performance and reporting as we further
enhance the achievements accomplished to date."
