Protect Tomorrow. Today.
Imperial Oil is committed to operating in a way that protects the environment and takes into account the economic and social needs of the communities where we operate. Our goal is to achieve excellent environmental performance in each of our businesses to Protect Tomorrow. Today.

Another way we address environmental issues is through increased levels of protection when planning new projects.
Our goal is to have zero spills to land or water.
One of our key priorities is to reduce emissions from our operations.
We focus on freshwater conservation opportunities and efficient use of water through the design and operation of our facilities.
We are committed to safely and responsibly managing wastes.
As part of our environmental commitment, we manage our impacts to land from design stage and construction through to operation and decommissioning.
We view compliance as a minimum requirement to maintaining our public licence to operate.
Researching new and innovative ways to develop hydrocarbons more efficiently and in an environmentally responsible way is essential to our business.
Careful consideration of biodiversity protection is an important part of our ongoing operations and project planning.
