Environmental Strategic Master Plan

PetroChina’s plan, which covered the corporate level and all four major operating departments, addressed all applicable environmental issues company-wide and delineated the infrastructure needed to effectively manage those issues.

The plan was structured as follows:

Develop a comprehensive set of performance indicators for every major business area of the company, setting a new bar for performance; afterward, compare this new standard to current performance using gap analysis

Develop an effective implementation plan that includes three major components:

• A strategic planning process to identify, prioritize and implement key environmental projects and issues in order of importance, according to five- and 10-year project forecasts and business priorities
• An environmental management system to assist operations in accepting responsibility for environmental performance; the system uses “line accountability” to engage operating managers at all levels in buying into environmental performance accountability
• A functional excellence program to address how effectively employees communicate in a modern facility where decision-making is critical; accountable leadership teams are overlaid on the organization to facilitate coordination and decision-making
