• CEOs of 10 global oil and gas companies
make collaborative declaration on climate change:
- Call for an effective climate change agreement at COP21.
- Strengthen actions and investments to contribute
to reducing the GHG intensity of the global energy mix. - Support the implementation of clear stable policy frameworks
consistent with a 2°C future; these will help our companies
to take informed decisions and make effective and
sustainable contributions to addressing climate change. - Collaborate in a number of areas such as
efficiency, natural gas, R&D and CCS. - Report regularly and consistently on their progress.
• OGCI report outlines member companies’ work
to catalyze practical, meaningful and
technology-enabled actions to address climate change.
The chief executive officers of 10 of
the world’s largest oil and gas companies
- which together provide almost a fifth of all oil and gas production
and supply nearly 10% of the world’s energy
- today declared their collective support
for an effective climate change agreement to be reached
at next month’s 21st session of the United Nations (UN)
Conference of Parties to the UN Framework on Climate Change
(COP21).
In their milestone declaration, the CEOs of the 10 companies
that currently make up the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI)
– BG Group, BP, Eni, Pemex, Reliance Industries, Repsol,
audi Aramco, Shell, Statoil and Total
– confirmed that they recognise the general ambition
to limit global average temperature rise to 2 degrees centigrade
and that the existing trend of the world’s net global greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions is not consistent with this ambition.
The OGCI member companies have taken significant actions
to reduce their GHG footprint, with combined GHG emissions
from their operations reducing
by around 20% over the past 10 years.Media enquiries:
