Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Phillips 66 has faced ethical scrutiny, including a 2024 federal indictment for alleged Clean Water Act violations and a $604.9 million jury award for trade secret misappropriation. A crude oil spill in Louisiana reportedly affected over 100 birds. Conversely, Phillips 66 is converting its San Francisco Refinery into the Rodeo Renewable Energy Complex, projected to reduce lifecycle carbon emissions by 65%, equivalent to removing 1.4 million cars annually. It also earned a perfect score for LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion for three years. Despite these efforts, a 5.0/20 score from the World Benchmarking Alliance highlights areas for improvement in human rights and decent work.
