Our employees are regularly reminded: “Your job is never so urgent or important that you cannot take the time to do it safely and in a manner that is environmentally sound.”
We actively engage and encourage our employees and contractors to take care of themselves, their coworkers, their family and our environment by investing in our companywide programs dedicated to these two critical areas: Safely8760, our safety program, and Stewardship365, our environmental initiative.

We view sustainability as a multidisciplinary focus that balances economic growth, environmental stewardship and social responsibility. Pioneer develops natural resources while supporting surrounding communities and protecting the environment. Intently focused on reducing emissions and emission intensities, Pioneer limits flaring to less than 2% of its produced gas, one of the lowest flaring percentages of operators in the Permian Basin. Our proactive measures, including aerial monitoring of 100% of Permian facilities for leak detection and repair and producing a well only once it’s fully connected to a gas line, combine to make Pioneer a leader in environmental stewardship.
For years Pioneer has focused on reducing its use of freshwater by increasing reuse of produced water and working with the cities of Midland and Odessa to acquire treated reclaimed water. In 2021, Pioneer announced a target to reduce freshwater use in Completions Operations to 25% or less by 2026.
Socially, Pioneer maintains a proactive safety culture, supports a diverse workforce and inspires teamwork to drive innovation. Our Board of Directors has a Health, Safety and Environment Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to ensure that proper ESG protocols are in place and to promote a culture of continuous improvement in safety and environmental practices.
