A MESSAGE
FROM OUR CEO
At MPC and MPLX, sustainability means advancing environmental stewardship, empowering our people, engaging meaningfully with stakeholders and communities, and operating with integrity. Through this work, we create shared value for our stakeholders while producing the energy on which we all depend.
In times of market volatility, reliable energy is top of mind for many. When our facilities operate safely, reliably and with strong environmental performance, they help support the availability of affordable, reliable fuels - an important component of the shared value we strive to create. I am proud that our talented and dedicated workforce achieved record safety and environmental performance in 2025.
We delivered our best companywide safety performance in four years, including a 16% year-over-year improvement in our Process Safety Events score. Excellence in process safety requires constant vigilance across our operations and continuous improvement in our management systems. It remains one of our highest priorities.
We also achieved a seven-year low in companywide OSHA recordable injuries. In 2025, eight of our 13 refineries were recognized with safety awards from the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, and our Detroit refinery again received AFPM's highest honor - the Distinguished Safety Award - for the fourth time, including back-to-back wins in 2024 and 2025. Detroit is now one of only seven refineries to earn this recognition in consecutive years over the past 35 years. Additional details on important third-party safety recognitions are included on Page 26 of this report.
These results provide strong evidence that our safety culture, programs and collective mindset are delivering measurable progress. At the same time, we know there is more work ahead. We must remain focused on our goal that every employee goes home safely at the end of each shift.
"When we talk about safety, we do not view it as a set of rules that we must follow but rather safety is a culture that each and every one of us must uphold every day, in every decision we make, doing the work the right way every time, every day to protect our people, our communities and the reputation of this great industry."

On the environmental front, in 2025 we achieved our 2030 goal of reducing Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions intensity by 30% from 2014 levels. Our 2035 target of a 38% reduction remains firmly in our sights. We also met our target to reduce freshwater withdrawal intensity by 20% from 2016 levels five years ahead of schedule. MPLX has achieved a 68% reduction in methane emissions intensity from 2016 levels, and MPLX subsidiary Marathon Pipe Line achieved its biodiversity target by cultivating sustainable landscapes on more than 10,000 acres of pipeline right of way. This achievement supports long-term environmental health while also contributing to safe pipeline operations.
Reflecting our deep expertise in energy efficiency and our longterm investments in this area, MPC has earned more ENERGY STAR® refinery certifications than all other U.S. refiners combined. In 2025, our Salt Lake City refinery earned its first certification and joined the ranks of these certified facilities. Marathon Pipe Line also achieved its first ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry recognition for its Los Angeles Basin Area site in 2025 - a first for the pipeline industry.
Our environmental stewardship work will continue through mature, embedded programs focused on energy efficiency, greenhouse gas reductions, water stewardship and biodiversity.
Marathon will celebrate its 140-year anniversary in 2027, and throughout that history we have remained committed to continuous improvement. We have made substantial progress over many decades, and the modern era provides a clear view of the advances we have made in safety and environmental performance over the last quarter-century. In the last 25 years, we have reduced criteria air pollutant emissions at the facilities that now comprise our refining fleet by approximately 56%; reduced Marathon OSHA recordable injury rates by approximately 79%; and reduced Designated Environmental Incidents by approximately 76%1. This performance is especially noteworthy given the significant growth and evolution of our company and operations during that time.
Our over 18,000 employees are the backbone of this company and central to our success. One way we create shared value with our employees, both today and for the long term, is through competitive compensation and benefits. In 2025, 95% of eligible employees contributed to our 401(k) thrift plan, supported by an employer match of up to 7%. This participation reflects the value employees place on the tools we provide to help support their financial well-being.
Our employees also demonstrate deep engagement and generosity in their communities. In 2025, they reported approximately 60,000 volunteer hours and joined with MPC, MPLX and our fundraising partners to invest approximately $35 million across more than 4,100 nonprofit organizations. This is a powerful illustration of shared value in action.
A key enabler of our sustainability accomplishments is our strong governance. Shared value is created through disciplined, values-rooted execution. The Boards of MPC and MPLX and our executive team take seriously their responsibility to uphold the governance frameworks that support our long-term success.
We expect our entire workforce to safeguard the reputation that generations of employees have helped build and to speak up when they have concerns. In doing so, they help protect the company for today's employees and for future generations of employees and stakeholders. In 2025, just over 10% of employees responded to a companywide poll in which 99% said MPC clearly communicates its expectations for ethical behavior, and 95% said they feel safe speaking up. In addition, 90% said they feel confident something would be done about unethical behavior when reported. We will continue working to improve this metric, and I am encouraged by the personal pride and shared ownership employees demonstrate for MPC and MPLX.
The programs and accomplishments presented in this year's Sustainability Report are a source of great pride. I invite you to explore these pages and learn more about the many ways MPC and MPLX are advancing sustainability and creating shared value with our stakeholders.
Sincerely,
Maryann T. Mannen
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer MPC and MPLX

LOWERING OUR
CARBON FOOTPRINT
We are committed to reducing the carbon footprint of our operations and the products we manufacture through energy-efficiency improvements that enhance performance and long-term resiliency. We work to optimize our assets, strategically invest in emerging technologies, expand our natural gas business and collaborate across sectors to drive efficiency improvements.
Scope 1 and 2 GHG EmissionsIn 2020, we adopted a companywide Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions intensity reduction target of 30% below 2014 levels by 2030. As we progressed toward this goal, we expanded our commitment in 2024 and set a new target to reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions intensity 38% from 2014 levels by 2035.
In 2025, we achieved our 2030 target. We delivered a 30% reduction in emissions intensity from our 2014 baseline five years ahead of schedule - and we continue to make progress toward our 2035 target.
We calculate emissions intensity by aggregating Scope 1 GHG emissions (direct emissions from our operations) and Scope 2 GHG emissions (indirect emissions from purchased electricity and steam) across our operations and dividing by total manufacturing inputs. Because our manufacturing sites process a wide range of inputs - including crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids and renewable feedstocks - we normalize these inputs using a common energy basis of barrels of oil equivalent (boe) to ensure comparability.
Our progress reflects consistent execution and long-term focus. Since 2014, we have driven sustained Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions intensity reductions. Energy efficiency initiatives have avoided nearly 1 billion Btu per hour of

Pipeline N"ture Imp"ct Mitig"tionOur recent efforts have prioritized identifying and assessing location-specific risks of pipeline operations in areas of threatened or endangered species habitat. Risks identified include habitat impacts, species movement and nature-related dependency risks including water quality and soil stabilization. To mitigate these risks, we apply best management practices and techniques throughout the pipeline life cycle.
Conservation Mowing
Adjusting mowing schedules and mower height throughout the year helps protect ground-nesting birds and avoid disturbing wildlife during important migration periods.
Selective Herbicide
Applying U.S. EPA-approved products to target invasive or incompatible plant species mitigates impacts to native vegetation. Weed management plans keep treated areas free of invasive and non-native weeds.
Enhanced Planting
Planting seeds that attract pollinators or provide food to boost biodiversity helps crowd out incompatible or invasive plants.
Hand Clearing
Clearing woody plants by hand and using targeted treatments help minimize disruption in the area.
Assessments and Education
Conducting post-construction surveys and research to verify sensitive areas have been appropriately restored.
Monitoring wetland and waterway crossing sites on pipeline rights of way to confirm they are fully restored and functioning.
Training employees and contractors about biodiversity and maintaining assets in sensitive areas.
Using signage to identify sensitive areas.
BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND TECHNIQUES APPLIED TO MITIGATE IMPACTS TO NATURE
STAGES OF BEST MANAGEMENT
PRACTICES ON THE RIGHT OF WAY
BEFORE
Woody vegetation and other incompatible plant species require a routine maintenance schedule. The best treatment application method for the terrain and existing vegetation is determined.
DURING
Incompatible vegetation begins to turn brown in one to two weeks of targeted treatment. This is a sign of successful application.
Selective treatments do not affect compatible vegetation we want to retain.
AFTER
After incompatible vegetation has been eliminated, a mix of native, compatible vegetation can be observed along the rights of way. While slightly less manicured, it requires less overall maintenance, supports biodiversity and improves soil stability.
NATIVE RESTORATION ALONG THE RIGHT OF WAY IN WEST VIRGINIA
In 2025, we restored multiple pipeline sites affected by slope failure in West Virginia using a purpose-designed seed mix tailored to support sustainable right of way vegetation management. The mix was developed to achieve rapid soil cover, meet erosion and sediment control requirements, and outcompete woody vegetation that could compromise our ability to inspect for leaks.
The blend includes regionally appropriate grasses with dense, fibrous roots for stabilization and flowering species to support pollinators without limiting access or asset integrity.
Avoid
For effective vegetation management, we keep existing ground cover in place and avoid any unnecessary disturbance. This helps prevent erosion, slope failures and the spread of unwanted plants.
Reduce
By establishing an intentional native and regionally adapted seed mix with deep, fibrous root structures, we reduce the likelihood of future slip incidents. Dense root networks improve soil cohesion, enhance slope stability and decrease long-term vegetation maintenance needs.
Regenerate
Rights of way in forested landscapes are naturally prone to recolonization by woody vegetation, which is not compatible with pipeline safety and access requirements. Through targeted species selection, we regenerate disturbed areas with a native vegetation community designed to outcompete woody species.
Restore
Restoration activities include regrading terrain, applying suitable seed mixes and stabilizing slopes based on soil and site conditions. These actions restore disturbed areas to a stable state while ensuring the continued protection and integrity of pipeline assets.
Conservation Agriculture Program
MPL's Conservation Agriculture program supports pipeline integrity and responsible land stewardship along rights of way by promoting erosion control and sustainable land management practices in collaboration with farmers.
The program prioritizes areas of shallow cover and locations where erosion could increase the potential for pipeline exposure. MPL works with farmers to identify appropriate conservation measures and implement them in a manner aligned with agricultural operations and site conditions.
Planting native grasses and flowers can significantly reduce soil and nutrient loss from fields, helping maintain soil fertility and protecting water quality.
These conservation measures also support habitat function and broader biodiversity and pollination outcomes while helping manage erosion risks along pipeline rights of way.
"We can help native plants and wildlife survive and thrive by creating sustainable habitats that help improve the local environment while protecting our assets and saving money."

WaterWe actively monitor water efficiency and utilization throughout all operations, continually looking for ways to reduce our reliance on this shared resource and mitigate risks effectively.
In 2025, through collaborative efforts and enhanced emphasis on water savings opportunities, we achieved our companywide target to reduce freshwater withdrawal intensity by 20% from 2016 levels. This was accomplished five years earlier than our initial goal attainment date. This equates to approximately 2 billion gallons of fresh water saved annually since 2016.
W"ter Use in Oper"tionsWater is vital to our operations. Depending on the location, we may source water from rivers, lakes, wells, municipal water systems and, in some cases, recycled sources. The majority of our companywide water demand comes from refining operations. In contrast, MPLX natural gas processing plants are designed to use little or no water in their routine operations. Nearly all natural gas processing plants use air-cooling systems that circulate hot product through air-cooled radiators, minimizing the need for water.

Loc"l W"ter Conserv"tionWater availability is a growing concern in many regions around the world, including parts of the U.S. Currently, three of MPC's operating refineries - El Paso, Texas; Salt Lake City, Utah; and Los Angeles, California - plus one renewable fuels facility - Martinez, California - are located in medium to high water-stressed regions as defined by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and World Resources Institute assessment tools. To help conserve water in these regions, as well as at other MPC refineries, our refining teams tailor site-specific plans using aspects of a nine-element management framework. The framework is designed to assess water use, identify and mitigate water risks, and uncover opportunities to reduce water use.
Each MPC refinery has designated engineers who serve as water coordinators, have defined baselines for assessing water use and maintain clear and consistent transparency with site leadership on how water is used through structured water monitoring and reporting.
To help manage and mitigate local water risks, we engage community members, government agencies and key water supply organizations. These engagements help us track and monitor the local water supply and plan for future changes in water quality, availability, accessibility, pricing and regulation. We support water supply organizations through membership, board leadership and committee participation.

Spill PreventionZero is always our goal.
Safe and reliable operations are at the core of how we protect communities, safeguard the environment and sustain long-term value for our business. We support this commitment through disciplined operational practices, a comprehensive pipeline integrity management program and advanced monitoring and inspection technologies.
In 2025, 99.9999% of all volumes transported via MPL-operated pipelines were delivered without a spill incident, reflecting the effectiveness of our prevention-focused approach and continuous investment in pipeline safety.
Pipeline Integrity M"n"gementOur extensive Integrity Management program seeks to identify and respond to integrity threats to our pipeline systems. This program's aim is to protect all areas from spills. We prioritize areas where a spill from a pipeline could affect a densely populated area, drinking water, ecologically sensitive zones or a commercially navigable waterway. Through annual risk modeling, we systematically identify potential hazards to each pipeline and assess their relative significance, allowing us to develop effective mitigation measures. These risks may include damage by third parties, corrosion, cracks, dents, operator error, manufacturing defects, equipment failure, geohazards or weather events.
PIPELINE INTEGRITY MANAGEMENT
Design and Construction
We apply rigorous inspection and quality-control procedures throughout pipeline design and construction. These include route and material selection, welding, testing and site restoration, and supporting safe and reliable operation throughout the asset life cycle.
Preventive Maintenance
Our pipelines and associated equipment undergo recurring inspection, testing and preventive maintenance to verify sound integrity and proper function. When warranted, we complete repairs and implement additional mitigation measures to proactively manage risk.
Corrosion Control
Coatings are applied to the outer surface of pipelines, and cathodic protection systems are installed along pipeline routes to help prevent external corrosion. Full cathodic protection inspections are conducted annually to verify that these systems are functioning properly. Internal corrosion is managed through the use of maintenance tools and, where appropriate, anticorrosive chemical injections to protect pipeline integrity.
Inspections1
We use multiple, complementary inspection methods to assess pipeline condition and identify potential integrity concerns:
Above-ground inspections: Aerial and ground patrols identify third-party activity, land disturbance and signs of release. Liquid pipelines are inspected at least every three weeks, and gas transmission pipelines at least annually.
Navigable waterway crossing inspections: High-resolution sonar equipment is used to assess erosion and channel movement at water crossings at least once every five years for both liquid and gas transmission pipelines.
In-line inspections: Advanced inspection tools travel through pipelines to measure pipe walls and detect dents, corrosion, cracking and other anomalies. Liquid transmission pipelines are inspected at least once every five years and gas transmission pipelines at least once every seven years.
Pipeline Safety Management
We educate landowners, first responders and community partners located near our pipelines about safe digging practices and emergency response.
' Learn more about the Earning Your Trust program in the Connecting with Communities section on Page 34.
Geohazard Management
Our geohazard management program monitors, assesses and remediates risks associated with earth movement, including landslides and subsidence in varied terrain and geological conditions. The program includes employee training, periodic assessments and targeted mitigation actions grounded in industry best practices.
These efforts also support environmental protection through the application of sustainable landscapes along pipeline rights of way to reduce soil erosion and enhance subsurface stability.
' Learn more about our work applying sustainable landscapes to pipeline rights of way in our Sustainable Landscapes section on Page 15.
Monitoring and Detection
Pipeline pressure, flow and volume are monitored 24/7 by trained personnel. Sensors and metering systems detect abnormal conditions, such as changes in pressure or flow rate, and alert control center staff to support prompt investigation and response.
1 MPC and MPLX conform to inspection frequency requirements contained in 49 CFR 195 and 192. Listed inspection frequencies apply to regulated pipelines only.
Advancing In-Line Inspection
In 2025, we strengthened our in-line inspection (ILI) program by partnering with vendors on two issues - axial strain and pipeline metal loss. Axial strain is the longitudinal movement that pushes or pulls along the length of a pipe. Axial strain tools were evaluated through baseline and repeat inspections with field validation at areas of known or suspected ground movement. These tools improved detection of geohazard-related loading, such as landslides, and assessment of pipe response to external forces. To address pipeline metal loss, we applied high-resolution Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) technologies within pipeline integrity evaluations, upgraded with increased sensor density. This upgrade enhanced anomaly detection and sizing accuracy and reduced uncertainty in integrity evaluations.
We also collaborated with an ILI vendor to present and publish a technical paper at the Pipeline Pigging and Integrity Management Conference, sharing lessons learned to support broader industry advancement.

Innov"ting with New TechnologiesAdv6nced Monitoring 6nd Right-of-W6y Inspection
We strengthen spill prevention and preparedness strategies through ongoing investment in advanced technologies that improve asset integrity, reduce incident risk and enhance response readiness across our operations.
We continue to expand the use of Flyscan, an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven right-of-way threat and leak detection technology that scans pipeline corridors from patrol aircraft with greater sensitivity and accuracy than traditional visual inspections. Our collaboration with Flyscan Systems Inc. continues to advance the capabilities of the technology and improve inspection practices across the pipeline industry.
AI-En6bled Le6k Detection 6nd F6cility Monitoring
AI-enabled cameras support real-time monitoring at 172 of our remote pipeline facilities, with enhanced leak and threat detection functionality active at 129 locations.
Traditional camera monitoring relies on human review or object-detection models that could miss subtle conditions.
To enhance detection sensitivity and accelerate response times, we developed an internal, camera-based leak detection model using AI Vision Language Models.
Applied to existing video feeds, this technology interprets visual conditions, identifies abnormal patterns and detects potential liquid leaks and other anomalies within approximately 30 seconds. Following a successful pilot in 2025, this model continues to evolve, supporting faster detection, improved decision-making and enhanced pipeline safety.
In 2025, we further advanced these capabilities at 20 Los Angeles-area pipeline vault sites, which provide access to critical underground pipeline infrastructure. By deploying DirectC technology and implementing customized algorithms tailored to individual pipeline segments, we enabled faster response, earlier leak identification and reduced release volumes.
MARINE INTEGRITY MANAGEMENT
Our marine operations include Global Marine and Inland Marine environments, each presenting unique challenges. To address these challenges and minimize impacts to the public, wildlife and the environment, we deploy a comprehensive vessel vetting, inspection and compliance program for all vessels1 we own, operate or charter.
As a member of the Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF) - and with representation on its executive board - we actively promote the safe and environmentally responsible transportation of oil and gas by water. Through leadership and participation in OCIMF committees, we contribute to the development of industry best practices that help inform International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations and global Port State Control regimes, including oversight by the U.S. Coast Guard.
Insights from this engagement also support the continuous enhancement of our marine integrity management practices.
Vetting and Inspection Programs
Our commitment to marine safety is reflected in rigorous vessel vetting and inspection requirements designed to help identify and address risks before they result in safety or environmental impacts. Key elements of our approach include:
Comprehensive vessel screening against 43 regulatory and compliance sources, including U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctions and international regulatory watch lists such as the Paris Memorandum of Understanding blacklist.
Strict eligibility criteria, under which vessels with poor inspection histories, unacceptable flag state performance or active sanctions are not permitted to conduct business with MPC.
Use of OCIMF inspection programs - including the Ship Inspection Report and Barge Inspection Report - as a baseline for evaluating vessels we own, operate or charter, as well as vessels calling at third-party terminals where we hold tankage.
Port State Control Compliance
These vetting and industry inspection programs are complemented by Port State Control (PSC) oversight. Every vessel we own, operate or charter is subject to PSC inspections to verify compliance with applicable international, federal and local regulations. These inspections assess vessel condition, equipment integrity, crew qualifications and operational practices to confirm adherence to safety and environmental requirements.

Emergency PreparednessMeticulous planning and strategic preparedness are critical to responding effectively in the event of an emergency. Our comprehensive emergency preparedness and response program is designed to safeguard people, protect the environment and maintain safe, reliable operations.
Through continuous improvement, training and investment in response capabilities, we work to minimize and mitigate potential impacts to our operations, communities and customers.
MPC's Emergency Preparedness Group (EPG), in partnership with emergency preparedness professionals within each operating component, oversees the companywide emergency response program. The program focuses on continuously strengthening our ability to respond swiftly and effectively to emergency situations at any of our facilities or operating areas.
The EPG develops and maintains procedures and guidelines for managing emergency situations, while sharing resources and best practices with other business units. To support the effectiveness of our plans and alignment with regulatory expectations, the EPG coordinates routine evaluations of our response plans with regulatory agencies, including the U.S. EPA, the U.S. Coast Guard, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and appropriate state agencies.
Each of our operational sites maintain site-specific emergency preparedness and response plans to address the distinct risks of each location, and receive additional support from local and/or regional emergency response teams. We conduct regular drills and exercises to ensure that our teams are equipped to respond with precision and confidence, should an incident occur.
For incidents larger in scope and complexity that exceed the resources available at a local facility, we activate support from Marathon's Corporate Emergency Response Team (CERT). Comprised of more than 230 trained employees, CERT provides specialized expertise, corporate manpower and coordinated response management to support major emergencies. The team is maintained to ensure that corporate resources, operational support and response leadership are readily available. Each CERT member is highly trained and certified in the Incident Command System - a globally recognized framework for coordinating resources across multiple agencies and organizations.
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EXERCISES
CERT members and other emergency response personnel participate in a wide range of training exercises to maintain a high level of readiness. These efforts include collaboration with federal, state, local and tribal responders - such as the U.S. EPA, the U.S. Coast Guard, state environmental protection or wildlife agencies, tribal government representatives and local emergency responders. In addition, MPC and MPLX maintain a robust response simulation program designed to test and continuously enhance our response capabilities.
Our exercises follow the guidelines of the federal government's National Preparedness for Response Exercise Program (PREP), ensuring compliance with the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 as well as all federal, state and local requirements.
Exercises are designed to prepare for various emergency situations and to thoroughly review, critique and improve our emergency response plans.
We take a collaborative approach to emergency preparedness. In addition to training our own employees and contractors, we actively engage federal, state, local and tribal agencies, local fire departments, law enforcement and other first responders and community leaders who have a vested interest in the design and development of our plans and exercises.
CERT Resources "nd SupportWe maintain a structured incident response framework composed of specialized teams that provide operational, executive and functional support across a broad spectrum of emergency scenarios.
Emergency Strike Te6m: A stand-alone response management team capable of supporting, supplementing or relieving roles in a major emergency.
Emergency Support Group: Provides key support functions, such as IT, communications and geographic information system mapping during an incident.
Crisis M6n6gement Te6m: Provides executive-level leadership response to MPC's and MPLX's needs during significant incidents.
Business Recovery Te6m: Works to meet MPC's, MPLX's and customers' needs during supply disruptions.
Thre6t Assessment Group: Evaluates the potential impact of a threat to MPC or MPLX, informs impacted stakeholders and recommends steps to protect people and assets.
Intern6tion6l Te6m: Determines potential impacts, recommends response strategies and responds to incidents related to the shipment of crude oil and refined products outside the United States.
MPC and MPLX use a tiered response system that enables incidents to be managed at the local, regional or corporate level as needed.

In 2025, MPC conducted a three-day multistate CERT exercise in Huntington, West Virginia, with approximately 225 participants. Participants included employees, support contractors and representatives from more than 20 federal, state and local agencies, who collectively managed a complex emergency scenario under a Unified Command structure.
Employees collaborated in real time across planning, operations, logistics, finance and public information functions. The exercise reinforced coordinated decision-making, effective public communication and the importance of strong partnerships with community stakeholders.
