About this Site

Our stakeholders live across Canada and around the world. Their interests are as specific as a well we’re drilling on their property and as broad as our company’s efforts to decrease our carbon footprint. We believe sharing our sustainable development efforts online invites open, transparent and far-reaching dialogue. This reporting and engagement is critical to improving our sustainable development performance.

This website reflects the issues facing the company and is organized into four sections that mirror the distribution of these issues: Canada-wide, Western Canada Gas, Oil Sands and the Arctic. The Canada-wide section explores issues that are common to all parts of the business, such as climate change and water use. Each business-specific section covers how the issues are being managed in that particular area of our business.

Website Scope

This website:

• Covers assets and facilities that we operate in our Western Canada Gas, Oil Sands and Arctic businesses: It does not include the performance of non-operated business interests, such as the Foster Creek and Christina Lake oil sands partnership with Cenovus Energy. It also does not include the Syncrude Project, of which we had a nine percent interest until June 25, 2010.
• Covers performance for 2008 and 2009: Exceptions are explicitly noted in the relevant data. The year 2007 is used as the baseline reporting year as it was the first full year of operations for the company following the acquisition of Burlington Resources.

Determining Priority Issues

We underwent a rigorous process to identify issues to cover on this website: Specifically we:

• Developed a list of potential topics for inclusion.
• Ranked issues based on stakeholder and business impact.
• Tested our list of issues, ranking and related performance measures or indicators with a leading non-government environmental organization.
• Conducted extensive internal interviews in which we connected with more than 60 experts inside ConocoPhillips Canada to get a full understanding of the issues and data.

Content Assurance

The accuracy of the contents of this website is of vital importance to us and our stakeholders. Senior management and a large team of internal subject matter experts reviewed all content and data on this website. The information presented was subject to a variety of internal assurance activities, including environmental, health and safety performance, management system and compliance audits.
