Integrating Climate into our Strategy - 23
Our Operated Scope
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Down 19% since 2010
For almost 10 years, we have published our improvement
objectives and reported on our achievements annually, listing
the difficulties encountered and outlining our future actions.
1- Change in GHG Emissions
In 2015, our direct greenhouse gas emissions amounted to 42 MtCO2-eq
in our operated scope, down 19% from 2010.
Our emissions can be broken down as follows: 46% from our Exploration
& Production segment and 53% from our Refining & Chemicals segment.
The Marketing & Services segment accounted for around 1%.
The three main sources of these emissions are fuel combustion (59%),
industrial processes (19%) and flaring (18%).

We continue to cut greenhouse gas
emissions in our operated scope
by focusing on two main areas:
- Reducing routine flaring
in our production activities.
- Improving energy efficiency
at our facilities.
Zero Routine Flaring by 2030
We have long been committed
to reducing routine flaring.
In 2000, we pledged that this
practice would be eliminated
in new developments.
In addition, we worked with the
World Bank to create and launch
an initiative bringing together oil and
gas companies, producing countries
and international institutions to
support the elimination of routine
flaring by 2030. We were the first
company to adhere to the initiative,
in 2014.
To achieve this goal, we set an
objective to reduce routine flaring
by 80% from the 2010 baseline
over the period 2010-2020.
Between 2005 and 2015, we reduced
flaring, excluding initial start-up,
at our operated facilities by more
than 50%.
A New Energy Efficiency Target
for Our Facilities by 2020
We have reduced our net primary
energy consumption by over 10%
in 10 years, and by 3% since 2010.
Energy efficiency is a key factor
in improving our financial,
environmental and industrial
performance. Since 2010, it has
improved by more than 6%.

In early 2016, we set a new
target of an average 1% per year
improvement in the energy efficiency
of our facilities from 2010 to 2020,
despite the increasingly complex
operating environment.

OPERATED VS. NON-OPERATED SCOPE
Operated scope reporting reflects the
efforts we undertake regarding the assets
we operate. For non-operated assets
— those in which we have a working
interest only — we responsibly challenge
environmental performance.
