Environmental Record of Performance - 2009
The oil and natural gas industry provides the fuels and products that support our nation’s economy and better its citizens’ quality of life. We help make factories and businesses run; we help move goods, people, and information; and we contribute to the creation of millions of jobs.
We also understand that the environment we share – the air we all breathe, the water we all drink and the land we all enjoy – is another important element of our quality of life. And through rigorous controls and technological innovations, we are taking better and better care of the natural environment.
One of the results of this investment is that as the demand for oil and natural gas grows higher, pollution levels are decreasing. This is a measure of the industry’s strong commitment to providing American consumers both the innovative products they demand and the safe, healthy environment they deserve.
