“We are proud to be a growing part of the industry that powers every other industry, serving as the foundation to fuel everyday life,” said HEP Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mike Howard. “Our purpose of ‘Delivering Positive Energy’ integrates our belief in capitalism, operational excellence, leadership development, and energy advocacy to leverage business as a force for good. At HEP, our team stands together while working toward a common goal: to provide abundant, low cost, reliable energy that powers communities and businesses and helps people flourish.”

Howard continued, “Meeting rising energy demand alongside community and environmental stewardship are complementary components of our approach. Our dual principle of ‘More Energy. Carbon Better.’ is not a competing concept, but integrated elements of our company through the continuous improvement of our people, technologies, safety systems, and operational performance. Our 2024 Positive Energy Report highlights these strategies and the programs that make them successful.”
