Ultramar believes two-way communication and cooperation with community representatives creates relationships that serve to improve the way we do business.
Jean-Gaulin refinery liaison committee
The Jean-Gaulin refinery has prioritized the development of social ties based upon respect and trust by creating a liaison committee with the community. Concrete information on the company’s activities is accessible: potential risks surrounding the refinery, new projects, environmental impact, prevention and emergency measures….
Neighbourhood and organization representatives may also assess implications and ensure follow-ups. As well, committee members may:
- discuss refinery activities
- provide opinions and make recommendations about operations in progress and new projects
- follow activity flow throughout the execution of projects
- relay information to citizens and neighbourhood organizations
- voice citizens’ concerns
- make the committee’s presence known throughout the population
The liaison committee is made up of fourteen (14) members who represent various segments of the community, such as:
- the immediate surrounding area of the refinery facilities (chemin des Îles and Saint-Laurent street)
- the Saint-Laurent Street district enhancement group (near the dock)
- social and economic organizations (CLD Lévis, UPA, Lévis Chamber of Commerce)
- environmental groups (AQLPA, CRECA, GIRAM, ZIP Québec/Chaudière-Appalaches)
- municipal and governmental sectors (city of Lévis, MENVIQ, Community Health Department)
