Taking action on climate change
At Imperial, we share the concern that all Canadians have for the environment and recognize that the risk of climate change and its potential impact on society and ecosystems may prove to be significant. Learn how we are taking steps to better understand and respond to this important issue.

Understanding gasoline pricing
Gasoline pricing has always been a hotly debated topic and for good cause.  People want to know how gasoline prices are set, why they fluctuate and what is included in the price.  Find out more about this complex and often confusing topic.

Low-sulphur gasoline
We are now producing low-sulphur gasoline at all our refineries across Canada. Over $600 million, 18 months of construction, and the efforts of more than 2,000 people have enabled us to reduce the sulphur content of our gasoline by over 90 per cent to 30 parts per million.  " Investing in Cleaner Air" (Winter 2002 Volume 86 Number 446) is an article in the Imperial Oil Review that talks about this issue in more detail.

Corporate citizenship report
Imperial's corporate citizenship report provides a comprehensive overview of how we continue to improve our safety, health and environmental performance, the guiding principles we use to run our business, and the actions we are taking to realize our commitments to customers, employees, shareholders and our neighbours in the communities in which we operate.

Energy conservation
" A Big Idea Comes to Life" (Number 2, 2003 Volume 87 Number 448 ) - An Imperial Oil Review article examines saving energy and reducing emissions.  Imperial is investing $250 million in cogeneration facilities that produce electricity from clean-burning natural gas and use the exhaust heat to make steam.

" Conserving Energy Only Makes Sense" (Spring 2000 Volume 84 Number 436) is an article from the Imperial Oil Review.  From production wells to refineries, this article explains why energy conservation is good for the environment and for business

Imperial and fuel cells
Fuel cells to power vehicles and produce electricity are among the technologies that might help further improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions. These developments are discussed in an article from the Imperial Oil Review entitled " Future Motoring" (Spring 2001 Volume 85 Number 440).
