After successfully reaching its 2030 goal five years ahead of schedule – cutting GHG emissions intensity by 20% in 2025 – the company raised its original target an ambitious five percentage points and accelerated its timeline to achieve the goal a full year early in 2029. The efficiency work behind that milestone is also showing up on the bottom line with fuel-efficiency gains on track to save the company roughly $650 million in 2026 alone versus 2019 levels.
