All our activities – from petroleum exploration, through the construction and operation of facilities to the final use of our products – have the potential to affect the environment and society.
These impacts may derive from emissions, discharges, land use and harnessing of limited natural resources, and could threaten biodiversity, cultural heritage, human health and welfare.
Effects on the environment are determined by the condition and capacity of the area concerned, the type of activity, the technology used and operational standards.
