Integrating Climate into our Strategy - 17 Encouraging a Collective Approach The response to the 2°C scenario challenges must also be collective. Two in particular require public and private sector participation: eliminating routine flaring and managing methane emissions. To speed up progress, we are actively involved in these areas, through international organizations and initiatives. 10 Companies Committed to the Climate The industry-driven Oil & Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI) was announced during the United Nations Climate Summit in New York on September 23, 2014. The Initiative currently has 10 members, all major international companies, that together represent around 20% of global oil and gas production. The CEO-led OGCI aims to catalyze collective action by those most committed to addressing climate change and to advance technological solutions through collaborative programs. As a founding member, we engaged fully in the initiative’s launch and development. We are working with our peers to further topics such as the role of natural gas; carbon capture, use and storage; carbon reduction instruments and mechanisms; and long-term energy solutions. In October 2015, following their initial work, the chief executives of the member companies met with a panel of prominent experts to discuss major political, scientific and economic issues related to climate change and agree on the additional efforts that would need to be made by our industry. After calling for an ambitious COP21 agreement in its first report, the OGCI and its members welcomed the successful outcome of the negotiations and defined a working program for this year based on three main priorities: - Creating a shared roadmap to reduce emissions in line with the 2°C target. -C  onducting carbon capture, use and storage R&D. -D  eveloping a global database and effective measurement tools for methane emissions.
