据今日油价网站3月15日消息 壳牌已经制定了第一个短期目标,以减少其运营和产品销售的碳足迹,因为石油和天然气行业面临着来自应对气候变化投资者和股东的压力。
壳牌在周四发布的年度报告中表示,在2019年初,它决定制定2021年的“净碳足迹目标”,与2016年每兆焦耳79克二氧化碳当量的净碳足迹相比,将其碳足迹降低2-3%。
壳牌实现净碳足迹目标的方法不仅包括直接从壳牌经营活动中排放的废气(如原材料的提取、运输和加工以及产品的运输),还包括向壳牌供应生产用能源的第三方所产生的废气,以及壳牌客户从壳牌生产的废气和使用公司销售的能源产品。
去年12月,壳牌首次在行业内表示,将计划制定短期目标,以减少其销售的能源产品的净碳足迹,并将这些目标与高管薪酬挂钩。
壳牌在其年度报告中表示:“今年建立公众信任还涉及加强我们对《巴黎气候变化协定》的公众承诺。在我们代表“气候行动100+”与机构投资者的联合声明中,我们承诺通过设定与高管薪酬挂钩的短期目标,在2050年前实现我们减少约50%的净碳足迹减排目标。”

Shell Outlines First Short-Term Carbon Emission
Royal Dutch Shell has set its first-ever short-term goals to cut the carbon footprint of its operations and product sales as the oil and gas industry is under intense investor and shareholder pressure to address to climate change.
In its annual report published on Thursday, Shell said that in early 2019, it had decided to set a “Net Carbon Footprint target” for 2021 to lower its carbon footprint by 2-3 percent compared to the 2016 Net Carbon Footprint of 79 grams of CO2 equivalent per megajoule.
Shell’s approach to the Net Carbon Footprint targets includes not only emissions directly from Shell operations, such as extraction, transportation, and processing of raw materials, and transportation of products, but also emissions generated by third parties who supply energy to Shell for production, and Shell’s customers’ emissions from their use of the energy products that the company sells.
In December last year, in an industry first, Shell said that it plans to set short-term targets for reducing the net carbon footprint of the energy products it sells, and to link those targets with executive remuneration.
“Building public trust this year also involved strengthening our public commitment to the Paris Agreement on climate change. In our joint statement with institutional investors on behalf of Climate Action 100+, we have committed to operationalise our ambition of around 50% Net Carbon Footprint reduction by 2050, through the setting of short-term targets which will be linked to executive remuneration,” Shell said in its annual report.
