Where we go from here...
Texaco is facing a vital challenge. It’s broader than any specific
words and larger than any lawsuit.
We are committed to begin meeting this challenge swiftly through
specific programs with concrete goals and measurable timetables.
Our responsibility is to eradicate discriminatory behavior wherever
and however it surfaces within our company. Our challenge is to make
Texaco a company of limitless opportunity for all men and women. Our
goal is to broaden economic access to Texaco for women and minorities
and to increase the positive impact our investments can have in
communities across America.
We have started down this road by reaching out to prominent
minority and religious leaders to explore ways to make Texaco a model
of diversity and workplace equality.
It is essential to this urgent mission that we work together to help
solve the problems we face as a company - which, after all, echo the
problems faced in society as a whole.
Discrimination will be extinguished only if we tackle it together -
only if we join in a unified, common effort.
Together we can take Texaco into the 21st century as a model
of diversity.
We can make Texaco a company of limitless opportunity.
We can and must make Texaco a leader in according respect to
every man and woman.
