This ESG datasheet aims to provide a consolidated overview of bp's non-financial performance. Metrics included in this datasheet cover our activities during the period 1 January to 31 December for the years indicated. Performance data included in this datasheet is discussed further in the sustainability report 2021. The datasheet should be read in conjunction with the sustainability report and is not a substitute for it. The report is available at bp.com/sustainability.
How we report ESG data
As we transition from an International Oil Company to an Integrated Energy Company, we are reinventing our old business model. Our upstream/downstream business model was in place up to 31 December 2020 and that is how we previously reported our ESG data. We transitioned to our new business model on 1 January 2021, and this is reflected in how we have reported selected ESG data for 2021. We report group-level data and now provide a breakdown for production and refining. We think this breakdown is most relevant to aid understanding of our performance, in particular GHG emissions. Due to these changes in our ESG reporting, it is not possible to restate prior year data on a new segmental basis. For historical data reported against the old upstream/downstream business model, please see the ESG datasheets for prior reporting years, available at bp.com/reportingcentre.
Metrics subject to assurance for 2021
The selected sustainability information below were subject to limited assurance by Deloitte LLP in accordance with the International Standard for Assurance Engagements ("ISAE") 3000 (Revised). Please see the sustainability report 2021 for Deloitte's independent assurance statement, at bp.com/sustainability. An associated 'Basis of reporting' document is available on bp.com/basisofreporting.

Operational control data comprises 100% of emissions from activities operated by bp, going beyond the IPIECA guidelines by including emissions from certain other activities such as contracted drilling activities.
a
The baseline year for our aims 1, 2 and 3 is 2019. Following publication of the ESG Datasheet 2020, we identified minor data reporting corrections for the 2019 production volumes used in the calculation of the reported 2019 figure for aim 2. We are showing the resulting adjusted figure for 2019 (360.9 MteCO2e compared to the 360.6 MteCO2e disclosed in the ESG Datasheet 2020). As a result of mathematical rounding, this correction does not impact the 2019 aim 2 emissions published in the bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 or the bp Sustainability Report 2020.
b
Estimated CO2 emissions from the assumed combustion of upstream production of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) based on bp's net share of production, excluding bp's share of production in Rosneft. On 27 February 2022, following the military action in Ukraine, the bp board announced that bp intends to exit its 19.75% shareholding in Rosneft Oil Company (Rosneft). It is assumed that all produced volumes undergo full stoichiometric combustion to CO2. These emissions are broadly equivalent to the GHG Protocol, Scope 3, category 11, with the specific scope of upstream production volumes.
c
The weighted average GHG emissions per unit of energy delivered (in gCO2e/MJ), estimated in respect of marketing sales of energy products. GHG emissions are estimated on a lifecycle basis covering production, distribution and use of the relevant products (assuming full stoichiometric combustion of the product to CO2).
d
We now report carbon intensity for aim 3 to the nearest whole number in gCO2e/MJ. Following publication of the 2020 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F, sustainability report and ESG datasheet, we identified minor data reporting corrections and implemented methodological improvements which have impacted the previously reported aim 3 figures. Recognizing that amendments and methodological enhancements may continue to occur in the future, we believe that the rounding of aim 3 figures in this way provides a more reliable and consistent representation of our performance. Since this is the first year of reporting on this basis, our ESG data sheet on bp.com also includes carbon intensity on the prior basis of rounding to 1 decimal place (see figures in parentheses).
e
Aggregate lifecycle GHG emissions associated with bp's marketing sales of energy products, as determined in the calculation of the average emissions intensity of our marketed energy products.
f
Aggregate energy associated with marketing sales of energy products, as determined in the calculation of the average emissions intensity of our marketed energy products, with electricity represented as fossil equivalence of sold energy. 1 PJ (Petajoule) = 1 billion (10^9) MJ.
g
Methane intensity refers to the amount of methane emissions from bp's operated upstream oil and gas assets as a percentage of the total gas that goes to market from those operations. Our methodology is aligned with the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative's (OGCI).
h
Methane intensity is currently calculated using our existing methodology and, while it reflects progress in reducing methane emissions, will not directly correlate with progress towards delivering the 2025 target under aim 4.
i
In 2021, capital expenditure against our aim 5 activities has increased from $750 million in 2020 to nearly $2.2 billion, the majority of which related to investments in offshore wind, electric vehicle charging infrastructure and solar.

Footnotes
bp total figures and "production" data for GHG emissions and energy include bpx (onshore US operations).
k
Operational control data comprises 100% of emissions from activities operated by bp, going beyond the IPIECA guidelines by including emissions from certain other activities such as contracted drilling activities.
l
We provide data on GHG emissions material to our businesses on a carbon dioxide-equivalent basis. This includes CO2 and methane for Scope 1 emissions.
m
Sustainable emissions reductions (SERs) result from actions or interventions that have led to ongoing reductions in Scope 1 (direct) and/or Scope 2 (indirect) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (carbon dioxide and methane) such that GHG emissions would have been higher in the reporting year if the intervention had not taken place. SERs must meet three criteria: a specific intervention that has reduced GHG emissions, the reduction must be quantifiable and the reduction is expected to be ongoing. Reductions are reportable for a 12-month period from the start of the intervention/action.
n
Scope 1 (direct) and Scope 2 (indirect) GHG emissions in tCO2e from bp operated production assets per thousand boe of gross upstream oil and gas production.
o
Scope 1 (direct) and Scope 2 (indirect) GHG emissions in tCO2e from bp operated refineries per utilized equivalent distillation capacity.
p
Scope 1 (direct) and Scope 2 (indirect) GHG emissions in tCO2e from bp operated petrochemical facilities per thousand tonnes of petrochemicals produced.
q
Methane intensity refers to the amount of methane emissions from bp's operated upstream oil and gas assets as a percentage of the total gas that goes to market from those operations. Our methodology is aligned with the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative's (OGCI). Methane intensity was previously reported to one decimal place but is now reported to two, in order to better demonstrate year-on-year changes.
r
We report the total hydrocarbons flared from our upstream operations.
s
bp equity share data comprises 100% of emissions from subsidiaries and the percentage of emissions equivalent to our share of joint arrangements and associates, other than bp's share of Rosneft. On 27 February 2022, following the military action in Ukraine, the bp board announced that bp intends to exit its 19.75% shareholding in Rosneft Oil Company (Rosneft).
t
bp equity Scope 1 (direct) and Scope 2 (indirect) GHG emissions in tCO2e from production assets per thousand boe of upstream oil and gas production. This replaces the previous bp equity upstream greenhouse gas intensity which included only Scope 1 (direct) GHG emissions in the numerator.
u
bp equity Scope 1 (direct) and Scope 2 (indirect) GHG emissions in tCO2e from refineries per utilized equivalent distillation capacity. This replaces the previous bp equity refining greenhouse gas intensity which included only Scope 1 (direct) GHG emissions in the numerator.
v
Total energy consumption in line with Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR). This replaces the total energy consumed metric which used total primary energy consumption.
w
Total energy consumption in GJ from bp operated production assets per thousand boe of upstream oil and gas production. This replaces the upstream (production/consumption loss) metric.
x
Based on Solomon Associates Energy Intensity Index methodology.
y
Total energy consumption in GJ from bp operated petrochemicals facilities per thousand tonnes of petrochemical production. This replaces the previous petrochemicals (energy intensity) metric which included total primary energy consumption in the numerator.
z
Energy content of flared or vented gas is excluded from energy consumption reported as although they reflect loss of energy resources, they do not reflect energy use required for production or manufacturing of products.
aa
UK and offshore energy consumption 4,386,000,000kWh in 2021.
bb
Global (excluding UK and offshore) energy consumption 124,419,000,000kWh in 2021.

bp totals for spill data include bpx (onshore US operations). Where the combined totals are broken down, "production" data for spills exclude bpx.
oo
Loss of primary containment records any unplanned or uncontrolled release of material (excluding small or non-hazardous releases such as water) from a tank, vessel, pipe, rail car or equipment used for containment.
pp
Any loss of primary containment of one barrel or more of liquid hydrocarbon (1 barrel = 159 litres = 42 gallons).
qq
The number of spills from primary containment. This number contains a small number of unclassified spills.
rr
The number of spills which breach containment (primary or secondary) and reach the environment, either to land or to water.
ss
The volume of oil remaining in land or water after recovery operations.
tt
bp totals and "production" data for water, air and waste include bpx (onshore US operations).
uu
Hazardous waste does not include waste which is disposed of under licence to deepwell.
vv
Operating and capital expenditure on the prevention, control, treatment or elimination of air and water emissions and solid waste is often not incurred as a separately identifiable transaction. Instead, it forms part of a larger transaction that includes, for example, normal operations and maintenance expenditure. The figure for environmental expenditure is therefore estimated, based on the definitions and guidelines of the American Petroleum Institute.
ww
A major operation may exist within or near more than one type of protected area or key biodiversity area.
xx
Metric replaces, 'Number of major operating sites in or close (within 20km) to international protected areas' to be consistent with disclosures included in WEF-IBC stakeholder capitalism metrics.

Methane emissions intensity refers to the amount of methane emissions from bp's operated upstream oil and gas assets as a percentage of the total gas that goes to market from those operations. Our methodology is aligned with the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative's (OGCI) methane intensity target. Methane emissions intensity was previously reported to one decimal place but is now reported to two, in order to better demonstrate year-on-year changes.
c
We report the total hydrocarbons flared from our upstream operations.
d
bp's equity share data comprises 100% of emissions from subsidiaries and the percentage of emissions equivalent to our share of joint arrangements and associates, other than bp's share of Rosneft.
e
Estimated CO2 emissions from the combustion of upstream production of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) on a bp equity share basis based on bp's net share of production, excluding bp's share of Rosneft production and assuming that all produced volumes undergo full stoichiometric combustion to CO2. Emissions are broadly equivalent to the GHG Protocol, Scope 3, category 11, with the specific scope of upstream production volumes.
f
Emission rate of equivalent carbon dioxide per unit of energy provided. Emissions intensity: estimated CO2e on a lifecycle basis from the use, production and distribution of marketed energy products per unit of energy (MJ) delivered.
g
The intensity of our marketed energy products is calculated as outlined in the basis of reporting document, available at bp.com/basisofreporting. Marketed emissions is a weighted average of the lifecycle of each marketed energy product on an absolute basis. Energy products include all products such as fuels (liquid, gaseous and solid) and power sold to assumed third party end users. Bio-products include all equity sales associated with ethanol, Butamax and Biojet. Crude oil is not included as it requires refining prior to end use. Refined products intended for non-fuel use (including lubricants, bitumen and naphta) are excluded. Sales of energy products reported as trades are not included. Sales to other oil companies where product is subsequently marketed by them are excluded.
h
Based on bp's total ethanol production and wind generating capacity.

Key definitions
Definition
Areas of water stress and scarcity
Defined as areas of medium to high, high and very high water stress based on World Resources Institute baseline water stress.
Chemical oxygen demand (COD)
The capacity of water to consume oxygen during the decomposition of organic matter and the oxidation of inorganic chemicals such as ammonia and nitrite. COD measurements are commonly made on samples of waste waters or natural waters contaminated by domestic or industrial wastes. In wastewater treatment, COD is used as an index to assess the effect discharged wastewater will have on the receiving environment.
Fatality
A fatality is any death of an employee or contractor as a result of a work-related incident.
Hazardous waste
Waste that is classified as hazardous (or the regulatory equivalent) by the local regulatory authority.
Key biodiversity area
Key biodiversity areas (KBA) are sites contributing significantly to the global persistence of biodiversity, in terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems. The Global Standard for the Identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (IUCN 2016) sets out globally agreed criteria for the identification of KBAs worldwide.
Protected area
Protected area is defined as a clearly defined geographical space, recognised, dedicated and managed, through legal or other effective means, to achieve the long-term conservation of nature with associated ecosystem services and cultural values (IUCN definition). IUCN refer to 6 different categories of protected area (IUCN category I to VI) corresponding to different levels of protection. Protected areas for the purposes of our reporting metric also include formally designated Ramsar wetland sites and UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and in Europe, Natura 2000 sites. Protected Areas boundaries are derived from the World Database on Protected Areas. For some protected areas in this database, the IUCN category is not reported, not assigned or not applicable. See bp.com/protectedareas
Loss of primary containment (LOPC)
An unplanned or uncontrolled release of oil, gas or other hazardous materials from a tank, vessel, pipe, truck, rail car or other equipment used for storage, separation, processing or transfer.
Major operating sites
A site or grouping of sites that produce or manage petroleum, chemical, or manufactured products where such products, their production processes, or their exploration processes have the potential to cause significant impact on the environment or the safety and health of employees, neighbours, or consumers.
Non-hazardous waste
Waste that is not classified as hazardous (or the regulatory equivalent) by the local regulatory authority.
Oil spill
Any liquid hydrocarbon release of more than, or equal to, one barrel (159 litres, equivalent to 42 US gallons).
Sustainable emissions reductions (SERs)
Sustainable emissions reductions (SERs) result from actions or interventions that have led to ongoing reductions in Scope 1 (direct) and/or Scope 2 (indirect) GHG emissions (carbon dioxide and methane) such that GHG emissions would have been higher in the reporting year if the intervention had not taken place. SERs must meet three criteria: bp made a specific intervention that has reduced GHG emissions, bp must be able to quantify the reduction and the reduction is expected to be ongoing. Reductions are reportable for a 12-month period from the start of the intervention/action.
Tier 1 process safety event
Losses of primary containment of greatest consequence - causing harm to a member of the workforce, costly damage to equipment or exceeding defined quantities.
Tier 2 process safety event
Losses of primary containment of lesser consequence than tier 1.
