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