Air emissions
Imperial recognizes we have an important role to play in reducing emissions to help improve air quality in the communities in which we operate. -
Water management
Water and energy are interrelated and we continue to develop innovative technologies that are more energy efficient and lower in water use intensity. -
Land use and biodiversity
Imperial operates in a variety of ecosystems, some with sensitive characteristics. We strive to limit the impacts of our operations, working to conserve and restore land and biodiversity through progressive reclamation and habitat restoration.
-
Progressive reclamation
Imperial’s goal is to return disturbed land to equivalent land capability, leaving behind self-sustaining ecosystems that support wildlife and traditional Indigenous uses. -
Decommissioning and remediation
We manage properties from start to finish, long before the first well, refinery, gas station or renewable diesel manufacturing complex goes up and long after operations end. -
Tailings
Fluid tailings are common to all surface mining operations and are comprised of the water, clay, sand and residual bitumen that is left over when the bitumen is separated from the sand. -
Waste management
Imperial recognizes the importance of properly managing waste to minimize potential impact to the environment while using resources more efficiently.
