Our Three Drivers
To get to net zero by 2050, we have been taking action for several years to limit the greenhouse gas emissions from our operations in accordance with the Avoid - Reduce - Compensate principle.
AVOID
We try to do as much as possible to avoid CO2 emissions. A tangible example is the electrification of our industrial base. Even better, thanks to the development of our solar portfolio, we are increasingly supplying our sites with renewable electricity.
At our main refining and chemicals complexes, we are replacing the boilers and turbines that are necessary for the units’ operation, but that are responsible for a large amount of the industry’s CO2 emissions, with electric motors.
In addition, we have been working since 2017 to solarize
4,600 of our service stations
and around 60 industrial and commercial facilities worldwide with rooftop and canopy-mounted solar panels.
