Occidental made an announcement in 2020 that it was the first U.S. oil and gas company to achieve zero Ghg emissions from its total emissions inventory, including the use of its sold products. These goals include achieving zero Ghg emissions from operations and energy use before 2040, with an ambition to do so before 2035, and achieving zero emissions from the use of its sold products before 2050. Occidental also set interim targets, including targets for carbon and methane intensity targets, and endorsed the World Bank's initiative for zero routine flaring.
