Researchers at the Political Economy Research Institute have identified Tesoro as the 24th-largest corporate producer of air pollution in the United States, releasing roughly 3.74 million pounds of toxic chemicals annually into the air.[8] Major pollutants emitted annually by the corporation include more than 400 thousand pounds of sulfuric acid.[9] The Environmental Protection Agency has named Tesoro a potentially responsible party for at least four Superfund toxic waste sites.[10] Tesoro has settled and/or closed each of the superfund sites for which it has been named as a one of many responsible parties. Tesoro was listed as a de minimis contributor to a superfund site in Abbeville, LA, and the site has since been closed by the EPA.
Tesoro has given over $1 million in support of California Proposition 23, which aims to suspend the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006.[11]
