About Cory Jones

I view environmental, health, safety and sustainability as a mindset, not just a mandate. My passion lies in transforming EHS+S from a policy people have to follow, into a culture they want to be part of. I focus on genuine engagement—listening to associates and giving them a voice—because they know the risks better than anyone. I believe we’re not just managing a site; we’re stewardship in motion, keeping our people safe today so they can enjoy the environment we’re protecting for tomorrow.
