Sustainability Reports
Our sustainability reports use qualitative descriptions and quantitative metrics to describe our policies, programs, practices, performance and to set targets. Note that many of the standards and metrics used in preparing this report continue to evolve and are based on management assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time of preparation, but should not be considered guarantees. All forward-looking statements are based on management’s knowledge and reasonable expectations at the time of publication, and we assume no duty to update these statements as of any future date.
Outlooks, projections, estimates, goals, descriptions of business and other statements of future events or conditions are forward-looking statements. Actual future results could differ materially due to factors, including:
-
changes in global or regional demand, supply and pricing for oil, natural gas, chemicals, feedstocks and other pricing factors affecting the transportation industries such as regional or global supply and demand imbalances and differentials
-
political and regulatory factors, including war, security disturbances, national tax policies, trade policies, environmental policies and the impact of international accords and treaties
-
changes in population size, purchasing power and consumer preferences
-
the timely completion of development and construction projects
-
actions of competitors
-
the outcome of current and future research efforts and the ability to bring new technologies to commercial scale on a cost-competitive basis
-
technical and operating factors.
