KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 5 (Bernama) -- PETRONAS has announced its aspiration to achieve Net Zero Carbon Emissions by 2050 as part of its holistic approach to sustainability that balances Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) considerations which are aligned to its statement of purpose, namely to be a ‘progressive energy and solutions partner enriching lives for a sustainable future’.
 
PETRONAS President and Group Chief Executive Officer, Tengku Muhammad Taufik said: “As the world contends with the many challenges brought about by energy transition, PETRONAS is embracing its role in providing access to affordable, secure and sustainable energy to businesses and society. The Group is committed to fulfill its purpose in providing cleaner energy and solutions that benefit both the world we live in as well as the customers we serve through reduced emissions.”
 
The NZCE aspiration by 2050 is guided by the four lenses of the PETRONAS Sustainability Agenda which demonstrates the company’s long-term commitment to Continued Value Creation, Safeguarding the Environment, Positive Social Impact and Responsible Governance throughout its integrated value chain.
