Our Drive to Zero
As a geographically diversified oil and gas services and chemical manufacturing company, and as a member of the global community, TETRA Technologies, Inc. (TETRA), its subsidiaries and affiliated companies are committed to the safety and health of our employees, and the protection of the environment.

This policy is the foundation that supports our HSEQ Management System.
