About this report
This report describes our performance in 2010 and early 2011 across a full range of environmental, economic and social issues. It is intended for anyone interested in learning more about our corporate citizenship efforts.
Since 2000, we have produced a full-length print document each year to report our economic, environmental and social performance. For the second year in a row, we have chosen to publish the full report here on our website.
The report was produced using the American Petroleum Institute/International Petroleum Industry Environmental Conservation Association (API/IPIECA) Oil and Gas Industry Guidance on Voluntary Sustainability Reporting (2010). Most of these indicators are consistent with indicators used by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) in the G3 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines.
To identify the economic, environmental and social challenges, opportunities and issues of greatest concern, we engage in ongoing dialogue with our stakeholders. The feedback we receive influences our business planning, promotes a greater understanding of corporate citizenship issues internally, and helps to ensure that this report is useful to its readers.
We focus our corporate citizenship activities in six areas: corporate governance, safety, environmental performance, managing climate change risk, economic development, and community relations and engagement. Our report provides details in all these focus areas, as well as provides information on what we said in 2008, how we did in 2009, and what we plan to do in the future to balance economic growth, social development and environmental protection. Where available, we also provide data comparing five years of performance.
We value your feedback on this report and our performance in addressing financial, environmental and social issues. Please take the time to tell us what you think by filling out our feedback survey.
