Environmental Stewardship
Marathon endeavors to reduce environmental impacts and address concerns about climate change and its potential effects. Our efforts include programs for using natural resources efficiently, reducing emissions and improving energy efficiency.
Where We Are
- Decreased greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity for second consecutive year, with 2010 intensity 8 percent below 2008.
- Continuing participation in voluntary programs such as U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Natural Gas STAR and ENERGY STAR® programs, the Global Gas Flaring Reduction (GGFR) Initiative and public reporting programs such as Carbon Disclosure Project.
- Improved energy efficiency 2.9 percent and continued identifying and implementing projects and procedural changes for further improvements.
- Decreased volume of oil spills, primarily due to improvements in operating procedures and mechanical integrity, while the number of spills increased from 2009.
- Implementing asset-specific biodiversity efforts and conducting environmental impact assessments (EIAs) for new country entries.
- Assessing water footprint and stewardship issues under guidance from an executive steering committee.
What We Want to Be
- Reducing GHG emissions intensity 4 percent by 2013 compared to a 2008 baseline.
- Improving energy efficiency 5 percent by 2015 compared to a 2009 baseline.
- Enhancing environmental performance by reducing spills and releases, minimizing wastes, and promoting conservation and biodiversity.
