Submitted by Petro-Canada

CALGARY, ALBERTA - Petro-Canada today released its 2005-2006 Report to the Community, outlining priorities and performance relative to the commitments made in the Company's Principles for Responsible Investment and Operations.

Highlights from 2005 include:

  • lower total greenhouse gas emissions and primary air pollutants, mainly due to closure of the Oakville refinery;

  • a significant decrease in flaring and environmental exceedances;

  • an improvement in safety by reducing the total recordable injury frequency for employees and contractors by 18% compared with 2004;

  • implementation of corporate-wide Guidelines for Security and the Protection of Human Rights; and

  • more than $7.2 million in cash and in-kind contributions to non-profit organizations.

    "As Petro-Canada's business grows, so too must the Company's corporate responsibility strategies and plans," said Ron Brenneman, Petro-Canada's president and chief executive officer. "Our areas of focus are operating safely, reducing our environmental impact, retaining and attracting employees and positively interacting with stakeholders impacted by our operations."

    The report also includes some stories of general interest like:

  • Petro-Canada's work with the national oil company in Libya to share improved operating and safety standards;

  • innovative water management projects at our coal bed methane operations in the U.S. Rockies;

  • the Company's efforts to transplant unique flowers at the site of our proposed Fort Hills mine; and

  • Petro-Canada's partnership programs with the Olympics and Paralympics.
