Integrating sustainability
At ConocoPhillips, we are focused on sustainably meeting energy demand, while creating lasting value for employees, communities and shareholders.
We have been on a journey to integrate sustainability into planning and decision making for decades. Before our first sustainable development (SD) report was published in 2005, we had implemented a process to identify and manage environmental and social issues and to assess performance. That process has evolved over the years as the risk and opportunity trends in science, demographics, technology and policy have changed. We published our first SD and climate change positions in 2003. Since then, we have updated those positions and developed positions on water, biodiversity, human rights and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). We also continue to refine our governance structure to manage sustainability risks and opportunities throughout the organization. By design, our systems-based approach includes continuous improvement and internal assurance.
