2、cting the future vitality of the petroleum indu s tryis the publics concerns about the environment. Recognizing this trend, API member comp a nies havedeveloped a positive, forward looking strategy called STEP: Strategies for Todays E n vironmentalPartnership. This program aims to address public con
3、cerns by improving industrys environmental,health and safety performance; documenting performance improvements; and communicating themto the public. The foundation of STEP is the API Environmental Mission and GuidingEnvironmental Principles. API standards, by promoting the use of sound engineering a
4、ndoperational practices, are an important means of implementing APIs STEP program.API ENVIRONMENTAL MISSION AND GUIDINGENVIRONMENTAL PRINCIPLESThe members of the American Petroleum Institute are dedicated to continuous efforts to i m provethe compatibility of our operations with the environment whil
5、e economically developing energyresources and supplying high quality products and services to consumers. The members recognizethe importance of efficiently meeting societys needs and our responsibility to work with the public,the government, and others to develop and to use natural resources in an e
