- Addressing climate-related risks and opportunities, including physical (extreme wind and rain events) and transition risks.
- Managing indirect value chain emissions (scope 3), which are complex to manage.
- Managing water risks, particularly in Iberia, where physical water quantity risk is prevalent.
- Increasing waste production due to refinery turnarounds and site dismantlement.
- Addressing safety incidents, including a fatality in Guinea-Bissau.
