APA : Announces 2022 ESG Goals

APA Corporation (Nasdaq: APA) today announced both short and long-term ESG goals directly tied to employee incentive compensation. The goals encompass a broad ESG strategy to address some of the most important environmental and social focus areas for APA including emissions, workforce safety, workplace engagement, and supplier resilience and diversity.

"We are committed to producing the energy the world needs in a responsible manner, which drives us to set aggressive ESG targets," said John J. Christmann IV, APA's CEO and president. "Our goals are intentionally challenging and focused on near-term actions so we can drive immediate and impactful results. Looking ahead, oil and natural gas will continue to play a significant role in our daily lives, and we will continue to meet energy demands in an innovative and sustainable way."

Short-Term Incentive Compensation Goals
Building upon the successful achievement of our ESG goals set in 2021, APA is introducing the following new short-term ESG goals for this year.

• By the end of 2022, the company will reduce upstream routine flaring in Egypt by 40%. In an effort to build upon existing Environment, Health and Safety (EH&S) measures, the company seeks to improve indicators tracking the Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) and Severe Incidents and Fatality Rate (SIF) targets for 2022.
• In 2022, APA will establish a supplier diversity program aimed at capturing a wider array of industry vendors representing underserved or underrepresented groups. Additionally, the company will enhance external transparency by reporting Tier 1 spend by category at year-end.
• APA is embarking on a future-of-work strategy to reimagine how to build an efficient work environment for employees, taking into consideration various technological enhancements and employee feedback to construct a more inclusive working model.

Long Term Incentive Compensation Goal
APA is committed to leading by example when taking on the challenges of environmental, social and governance goals. For the first time, APA is setting an ambitious goal directly tied to long-term incentive compensation. Specifically, by the end of 2024, the company will deliver capital and operational projects that collectively will eliminate at least 1M tonnes of annualized CO2 emissions. The emissions eliminated will be verified by a third party.
