Security

ConocoPhillips has responded to the increased risk of terrorism and other threats to its operations with a program to identify, prevent, detect, deter and mitigate potential attacks against company personnel and facilities. All key facilities and operations are subjected to periodic security vulnerability assessments in which specially trained security professionals determine likely threats and develop appropriate countermeasures. These assessments provide the foundation for investments in security system upgrades at company facilities around the world. ConocoPhillips works closely with local, national and international governmental agencies to understand the unique security risks present in each of the countries in which it operates. The company also works closely with public and private sector entities to develop security measures to minimize risk to employees, facilities and nearby communities. For example, U.S. Customs and Border Protection of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security recently certified ConocoPhillips’ supply chain security processes as fully compliant with the provisions of the voluntary Customs -Trade Partnership Against Terrorism program.
