Provident and our subsidiaries are committed to protecting our employees, our contractors and the residents who live in the communities where we operate. Our commitment to this protection applies to all of our activities.

We conduct our operations responsibly, and in a manner that is consistent with industry standards and regulations pertaining to environment, health and safety.

We expect our employees and contractors to follow Provident's environment, health and safety procedures.

We strive to minimize any potential environmental impacts and to preserve the diverse wildlife and habitats in the areas in which we operate.

We implement economic greenhouse gas reduction projects.

Our EH&S Policy is good business practice.
