Externally, we publicly support policies that we believe can address climate change while also making it possible for society to meet growing demand for
secure and affordable energy. We believe the use of a price on carbon – one that applies economy-wide and treats all carbon equally, whether it comes
out of an industrial smokestack or a car tailpipe – will make energy efficiency and conservation more attractive to businesses and individuals, and help
lower-carbon energy sources become more cost competitive within the energy mix. While a global price would be most economically efficient, regional
and national approaches are a necessary first step, provided temporary financial relief is given to domestic industrial sectors that are internationally
traded. We have done these things by engaging with governments, non-governmental organizations, industry organizations, universities and other
companies on issues relating to climate change. In 2012, we attended the Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development and the World
Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Davos, where we became a founding signatory of the WEF Energy for Society initiative. We signed the Carbon Price
Challenge Communiqué, that calls for a price on carbon. We used our role as the official oil and gas partner of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic
Games to help raise public awareness of lower-carbon mobility options. Our multimedia showcases demonstrated new and emerging mobility
technologies to a global audience.
