Vision:
Vistra’s safety vision is simple, put forth our Best Defenses.
Mission:
We will always be focused on Best Defenses, continuous improvement and limiting serious injuries.
Core Safety Principles:
• We place the safety of our people, communities, customers, business partners and visitors first.
• We value prevention of human error and will strive to incorporate HPI principles and tools to establish best defenses.
• We believe in best defenses. If an incident occurs we will fail safely. If it can’t be done safely, we won’t do it.
• Employee engagement is key to achieve accountability and ownership of our safety principles.
Who We Are
WE DO BUSINESS THE RIGHT WAY
Every decision we make and action we take will be evidence of the utmost integrity and compliance. Conducting our daily activities within the laws, regulations, and rules is not an option we choose but rather the way we do business that is ingrained in our culture.
WE WORK AS A TEAM
We are committed to each other, in everything we do and to the success of our company. Collaboration, information sharing, and cross-functional teamwork are fundamental to how we conduct our day-to-day activities.
WE COMPETE TO WIN
We will create the leading integrated energy company with an unmatched work ethic, an analysis-driven and disciplined culture with strong leadership and decision-making throughout the organization.
WE CARE ABOUT OUR KEY STAKEHOLDERS
We care about our employees, customers, and communities where we live and do business. We will maintain productive and respectful relationships with our elected officials, regulators and community leaders. We strive to achieve the full value of our enterprise for our investors.
Best Defense
Vistra’s goal is to provide each employee with essential training and resources to help ensure their safety and health while planning or conducting onsite activities. Promoting continuous learning throughout the fleet and removing latent organizational weaknesses are the cornerstone pieces of Vistra’s safety philosophy. Also, reporting of all incidents, no matter how inconsequential, is critical for learning and we ask that each individual report safety incidents and hazards to assist in proper identification and remediation. Additionally, we value the prevention of errors and are committed to reducing error-likely situations.
Supporting Principles of Best Defenses:
Everyone’s participation and involvement in safety programs and processes is critical to our success.
We share in the responsibility of our co-workers’ safety by submitting Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) observations and using our Human Performance and Improvement (HPI) tools and principles.
Each individual must follow safe working practices to keep themselves, their team and the public safe.
Everyone in Vistra will receive and participate in company-provided training.
We will take the time to do the job safely and will not allow unsafe shortcuts.
Individual feedback and ideas are strongly encouraged as a means of continuous improvement that supports our learning culture.
