Sustainability Performance Data

The sustainability performance data disclosure aims to inform the progress of our sustainability performance, through our consolidated overview of key sustainability data from greenhouse gas and energy, environment, safety and workforce. This biannual data disclosure includes our owned and operated businesses unless stated otherwise, in line with industry practices. It does not include data from equity interest fields/projects, such as joint ventures, where we do not have operational control.

Disclosure of sustainability performance data is aligned with international reporting standards to allow for comparable disclosure for the benefit of our stakeholders, including:

IPIECA / American Petroleum Institute (API)/ International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP) Sustainability reporting guidance for the oil and gas industry
Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards
World Economic Forum's Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics
