Community Advisory Panel
The Ferndale Refinery Community Advisory Panel (CAP) meets quarterly and represents a diverse group of stakeholders including residents, industry neighbors, educators, safety personnel, non-profit organizations and elected officials.
These meetings foster trust and strengthen relationships by creating a space for open, two-way dialogue about refinery operations, and updates. The meetings also provide community members with an opportunity to discuss and ask questions about plant activities.
Our ongoing objective is to enhance communication and understanding between the refinery and the communities we serve. We aim to address community concerns while keeping local stakeholders informed about our operations. Over the years, this focus has remained unchanged, ensuring transparency and collaboration.
