Climate change is a serious global issue that affects everyone, industry and consumers alike. It is one of the toughest environmental issues that we face today and in the foreseeable future. Petro-Canada is not only concerned, we are also impacted. Climate change is a complex issue, which requires integrated solutions - solutions that we want to be a part of.
Petro-Canada creates value by responsibly developing energy resources and providing world class petroleum products. In this process, we emit GHGs primarily through fuel combustion and fugitive releases of methane from our production facilities. Through Petro-Canada’s Climate Change Executive Steering Committee and Climate Change Working Group, we have created a strategy to balance both environmental and economic interests, while making sure we are at the forefront of new technology. We realize there is much more to do, but know that worthwhile changes take time to implement properly. We believe it is possible to have an approach to climate change that improves environmental quality, while enabling us to remain globally competitive.
“Climate change and the environment are top issues for Petro-Canada. By taking the same strategic approach as we would to any other area of our business, we can operate in an environmentally responsible way by reducing our emissions intensity, while still remaining economically competitive.”
— Kathy Sendall, Chair, Climate Change Executive Steering Committee
