Highlights from ConocoPhillips 2020 Sustainability Report

• As the first U.S.-based oil and gas company to adopt a Paris-aligned climate-risk strategy framework, ConocoPhillips aspires to become a net-zero company for operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. The company has created a global pipeline of GHG emissions reduction projects through a Marginal Abatement Cost Curve (MACC) process and has established a Low Carbon Technologies organization to focus on energy transition opportunities.
• Conducts research on how our operational footprint could impact biodiversity and mitigate potential impacts by using the Mitigation Hierarchy to identify, assess, characterize and manage biodiversity risks.
• Efforts encompass sourcing water and managing produced water. For example, the company recycles treated produced water for use in hydraulic fracturing in the Permian Basin in the U.S. and Montney area in Canada.
• Engages with stakeholders, building shared value for the company and local communities by listening to understand concerns, finding mutually agreeable solutions to mitigate these concerns through our actions and then integrating them into planning and decision-making.
• Effectively engaging, developing, retaining and rewarding our employees is a priority for ConocoPhillips. The company maintains a focus on diversity and inclusion and is committed to enhancing its visibility.
• In 2020, ConocoPhillips led industry by working with Scientific Aviation to develop and test continuous methane monitoring devices at select Lower 48 facilities to further enhance LDAR. We have installed approximately 360 devices covering over 100 locations, with a focus on continuous monitoring of our larger Lower 48 production facilities.
