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. 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
