How CNOOC reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, CNOOC's total waste generation increased by 46.2%, including a 8.62% rise in 2023, reflecting a persistent upward trend that could be linked to operational growth, inefficient material use, or limited investment in waste prevention systems.
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste in CNOOC's total output increased by 6.52%, including a further 15.09% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.
Overall, CNOOC has seen a continuous rise in both total waste and hazardous waste over time, signaling a worsening environmental impact that may require urgent reassessment of material sourcing, production processes, or waste mitigation strategies.
