SUSTAINABILITY-RELATED WORK FRAMEWORK
BASIS OF PREPARATION
We categorize our work under three types -Sustainable, Transitional or Traditional - in relation to the contribution to decarbonization and circularity objectivesWe make this classification based on management's evaluation considering lifecycle assessments of technologies and/or specific project characteristics
Sustainability-related backlog, revenue and capex are calculated aggregating items categorized as Transitional or Sustainable
SUSTAINABLE
Includes hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives1 from electrolysis (green and pink), e-fuels, biofuels, SAF, bioplastics from bio-feedstock, plastic upcycling,
chemical recycling (depolymerization), Waste-to-X (gasification), renewables and nuclear energy
TRANSITIONAL
Includes gas processing with carbon capture, LNG, low-carbon hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives1 (blue), carbon capture, biodegradable plastics from fossil feedstock, Ultra-Low Energy urea and nitric acid, phosphate- and potassium-based fertilizers, specialty and NPK2 fertilizers, fluorine technologies
TRADITIONAL
All other market segments, including, for example: oil refining, chemicals, petrochemicals, hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives1 produced without carbon capture (grey), sulphur recovery units, traditional urea, sulphuric and phosphoric acid, soaps and detergents
Not subject to third-party assurance. 1. Including ammonia and methanol. 2. NPK, i.e., Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K).
